How to repair Internet Explorer

If you experience problems when using Microsoft Internet Explorer, the first thing you should do is scan your system for spyware using a good anti-spyware product. Spyware can interfere with the operation of the browser and cause unexpected problems.

If this does not help, then many problems are most easily resolved by reinstalling or repairing Microsoft Internet Explorer. There are two ways to achieve this.
Method 1

• Using Windows Explorer, open the Windows folder
  
• Open the subfolder Inf
  
• Locate the file named ie.inf
  
• Right-click ie.inf and select Install.

If Windows was installed from CD, you will be prompted to insert the CD during the repair.
Method 2

• Download and reinstall Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 from Internet Explorer Downloads.

If you receive the message "Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on this system.
Setup cannot continue."when you try to reinstall Internet Explorer, then you must modify the Registry to make it appear that Internet Explorer is not already installed. To do this:

• Open the Registry Editor.
  
• Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}.
  
• Select the {89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383} folder.
  
• In the right-hand pane, double-click the value IsInstalled and change it from 1 to 0.
  
• Try reinstalling IE6 again. 

Applies to

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6
  
• Microsoft Windows XP
