Then to reinstall IE, you can go to the IE homepage and download the latest version: Now scroll down the list to the Microsoft Windows section and there you will find Internet Explorer:Ĭlick on that and then click the Uninstall button that shows up at the top. Instead of clicking on Turn Windows Features On and Off in the Control Panel screenshot above, click on View Installed Updates. There’s also a second way to reinstall Internet Explorer in Windows 7. It will reinstall it and hopefully any issues you were having will be gone. Now go ahead and reboot your computer and then come back into the same dialog and re-check Internet Explorer. Don’t worry about it, it won’t cause any problems on your system. ActiveX blah' but then I clicked on the info bar at the top of the page and I got the ActiveX Install/Don't Install dialogue box, I clicked on 'Install' and Hey Presto! I can watch You Tube videos.You’ll get a message stating that doing so could affect other programs, etc., etc. I got that damn message (for about the hundedth time) saying 'javascript blah. Then I ran ie8 and tried to watch a video on You Tube. The installation completed and I restarted my computer.

During installation I was asked if I wanted to install some other ie8 updates I said no by unchecking the box. In the 'Priority Updates' list I selected ONLY the ie8 update and proceeded to install it. Next I clicked on 'Windows Updates' in the start menu and selected 'custom updates'. I'd now reverted back to ie6 but you might go back to ie7 in which case I would remove that as well. I then located the security update for XP numbered KB973346 which is the ActiveX killbits patch and removed it. I then removed the two ie8 updates and then removed ie8 itself. First I went to add/remove programs and checked the 'show updates' box.
