Unable to use Microsoft update to reinstall Internet Explorer?

Question

Unable to use Microsoft update to reinstall

I am unable to get Internet Explorer to work on a Dell Inspiron running XP home Edition service pack 3. Automatic update is working so the important files are up to date. When I click Windows Update I cannot get on the Microsoft web site to reinstall or upgrade Internet Explorer because Internet Explorer will not open.

I am doing this for a friend they want Internet Explorer not Firefox.

Any Ideas

Thanks

Answer 1

If internet explorer does not open at all you have to start with the operating system CD and choose the repair option or from the command prompt type SFC /scannow (still need the cd) If you only can't access Microsoft's website download explorer from another source like http://www.soft32.com/download_997.html

I would also run a full scan with a antivirus/antispyware program

Answer 2

cyber web Explorer isn't the perfect cyber web browser first of all, so i might recommend downloading some thing else, which contain Firefox. Its authentic elementary. purely bypass to Mozilla's web site and acquire it. it may even import issues from IE.
