Hmmm tough to say what the problem is...
try this... Reinstall IE from here ... http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp The problem could be alot of things though.. including a quirck with your operating system that may or may not go away... |

thanks for the reply
I uninstalled from programs...when tried to install says can not install more recent version already installed on this computer... |

Ok .. no problem ... I recomend downloading browsers from that site becuase it was reffered to me by my school while I was in web-design and prolly a more trustable download source for these types of things
here is IE10 http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/perfectfortouch Not sure were actually fixing the problem here though. Could be anything honestly ... missing file from the System directory... Might need to re-install over your current OS... you say it works in safe mode... which leads me to believe your system might be having problems... unless you just went into safe mode to try your IE browser to see if it worked there. Usually when it comes to software problems it is much easier to fix it by installing over the problem area. As software is almost impossible to fix any other way. IE10 is for Micrsoft 8 I believe or at least it for the touch screen. Not sure it will work without one or not. Your other browsers work so it may not be imparative that you get IE working. If you uninstalled IE and then it said "You have a newer version of this program." when trying to install onto a removed IE. But IE is Microsoft and your on a Microsoft OS presumably so maybe it is hard to remove once up and running. Removing I guess could be trickier then one thinks.If that was the case I would need to be there to engineer a way around it. Not hugely difficult... anybody could do what I would try.. and it would prolly work. |

Unless there is a specific/required reason for using IE (online school for example) I would not use it. IE is and always has been both a resource hog and buggy in terms that once you have problems with it you may have to re install the entire machine.
There are many different browsers just google to find and try one. I would also suggest a portable browser so you dont have to actually 'install' and dll's or system files. http://portableapps.com/ Portable apps are a fairly new occurance but they are much cleaner/easier to use and try. They also seem to be less of a resource drag although they are sometimes buggy. I use several of these on a regular basis. |

Thanks again...both IE9 and google chrome came factory installed on laptop...IE9 quit working so I went in safe mode and IE9 worked OK.. went back to normal mode and google chrome worked OK...IE9 still would not some sites I use for business/school recommend IE9 to use for best results... would like to get it working again rather than redo/relearn where everything is...and the laptop is only 6 months old |

I had my fill of IE and all of it's problems a couple of years ago. Switched to Firefox and haven't looked back, although the last couple of versions seem to be prone to annoying crashes. Haven't yet tried Chrome simply because I don't trust the data harvesting god known as Google.

Highly recomend Opera... least used browser out there of Mozilla , Chrome, IE and Netscape ( no longer with us ). Quick like Chrome and all the features of IE but not developer oriented like Mozilla

In the case of web-browsers unlikely to get it running unless it was a setting you changed. Almost all software problems are fixed by installing new software over it. Software is very technical... unless it is a missing file that needs to be replaced or simply dropped in the proper directory or setting that needs to be changed...it is impossible to fix... you can try un-installing it from your control panel then go scouring through your program files and remove any trace of it. Should even be able to find a program file or two of IE in your Windows or System folder that is a child directory of logical drive C: . Once you do this you may no longer recieve the message that you alrfeady have a current or newer version of IE. As far as recomending a browser goes it is kind of a style and options preference IE still does not display the HTML5 video and other browsers do. So in that way it is sub-standard but does render graphics better (only slightly and most ppl would not care) then Chrome, from what I have noticed. |

The problem with IE is that it is 'integrated' into the OS... trying to determine which dll's and reg keys are specifically for IE & which are required by the OS (or other components for that matter) is impossible.
I have seen dozens of machines re installed just because of problems that began with IE and weren't repairable. At least not by the average engineer, a team of Microsoft developers could probably resolve the problems if they have enough time. There are TONS of browsers available. Try a few different ones to see which one you like. As Mirage says if its for compatability reasons you will need to stick to one of about 4 (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera,). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_browsers |

Norton sucks. It takes up a lot of space, uses a lot of resources, and doesn't find half of the crap that's out there. I use AVG and have no complaints but there are many others to try. I like AVG because it seems to do it's job without disrupting any other processes and it runs pretty lean.

Never,never,never use Google for anything. I said never. |

Not sure that there is a huge difference between Chrome and Firefox unless your a developer. Although Chrome does sacrafice display quality for performance if you look closely (others might do the same... I just have not caught it yet).
All the browsers have more slender sleeker looking graphics ( which make them seem more modern ) then IE. IE's display is kinda blocky sort of like they did not use advanced antialiasing when displaying HTML files and other browser developers did. That being said I recomend Opera or Safari (made by Apple). Opera has a really nice UI set up if you use the three icons on the bottom left of the browser. Chrome does not display certain elenments with the intended color. But most ppl would not notice. Safari has a great looking display and renders nicely. My site looks the best on Safari when I am cross viewing in browsers (some browsers display diffrerently then others) as most html files would. |

First Chrome is a big differnce from firefox Second apple deosnt make anything besides the os and even then its a piece meal of closed source linux. Safari is mozilla based as most browsers are. Netscape is still being made well was as of last year. Firefox is the fork of it. Mozilla to be really accurate is the true fork. Every gui frame as it where comes from it . SO the mozilla company as it where made safari no apple. Opera does have it quarks like no working with facebook games right ... the cookies /flash and images it blocks firefox and chrome tend to be ok with that so if u dont want a image or facebook problem stick with firefox. |
