Hello,

Hi I deleted all files ie cookies, passwords etc in IE7 but now when I click to open a new tab it comes jumps to desktop smiley something and error page not found and have to type into the address bar. Unfortunately Im not at the comp as Im in work. I have downloaded google chrome to keep me going. Any suggestions as to what I have done wrong. Using windows Vista

Dear Sir,

All you will have to do is to reset Internet Explorer,

Click on Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab..

Click on the Reset button at the bottom

Thanks

Sorry Iveal meant to reply to you but replied to myself.

I have tried that and now I get this tbr:res?id=tabs&rep=1 when I click to open a new tab.

Any other suggestions is like the files is missing to run tabs. I upgraded to IE8 but same thing so dont really know not a computer person as in how it runs etc. I just type..lol Appreciate your suggestions.

ie8 multi tabs not working _ shows blank

go to run command prompt and type:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

sometimes "during updates" if a restart is missed important files do not get registered
running this command makes sure all updated files are registered
if you get an error message about a corrupt file you need to re-install ie8 or the update that is corrupt
could be harder to find the corrupt patch or update so re-install would be fastest

maybe by now ms has an patch lol

Hi just getting back to you now. I have tried this and I get the message that it succeeded. How do I go about uninstalling IE7 and uploading it again do I go into remove programs? It was preloaded into the laptop when purchased. I have uploaded to Ie8 but it didnt help tabs still not working and I actually prefer IE7. Thanks again
