I have had an issue on my laptop for I cant even think how long. IE refuses to work. Flat out refuses but fails successfully!
If I completely remove IE from Windows, with all necessary reboots, and then from a clean boot, with an Administrator log in, I install IE, it fails successfully. Nothing shows up in Event viewer about it failing, crashing or anything else. If I run IE it opens, appears to hang partway through the loading process and then exits.
This happens with any user acct, in safe mode or regular, even with Run as Administrator. Nothing else on the system has issues. Programs install without complaint otherwise. For whatever reason IE is the only issue.
This is not a huge problem, I really don't mind THAT much but I am curious if anyone has any suggestions or ideas? The main reason I am posting this is that I have had times that IE is the only supported Browser (meeting SW or whatever) which forces me to log on to a different system in order to do whatever it is.
