can't get ie to load

[jalea148]

I'm running XP64, SP2. I've downloaded and installed ie7 & ie8; neither will load even though the installations went smoothly.

Generally, I use firefox. But there is an application that requires IE. The IE add-on to firefox doesn't help. [similarly for Chrome]

Anti-virus is turned off. Both versions of iexplore.exe [32 & 64 bit] are in their IE directories. Neither the 32 bit or 64 bit versions load.

Hotfix did not help.

Have you tried System restore? Do you have a back up in the form of a mirror image?

Hello jalea148, welcome to Windows Forum. :)

I did a search on your problem and come across the following:

I must add that I have never personally tried this, so I would recommend that you back up your registry before proceeding with the process.

Worth a try if System Restore does not do the job, but only AFTER trying it first.

In this scenario, only system restore is the option.

I think jalea148 has lost interest. Looks like one of these examples where people put a problem on several forums and don't bother to follow up on them all. Rather bad manners.
