understoodThanks Patio and Allan, for sticking up for me. We know you can't uninstall I/E. I have TRIED turning it  it off to try and repair it but it doesn't help.I think Ivanoe is a LITTLE CONFUSED over this issue. It sure is a mystery, to me anyway but I await the monthly Windows updates to SEE if they have a fix for it. As I have said, I use Chrome and Firefox so I am not overly concerned and I believe I/E has been having pretty serious security issues lately.
Cheers. Barry.Thanks to all of you and apologies for my slip up on the name,  i appreciate all the help i get when i come on this site.
i seem to have lost I.E altogether now so i am not putting it back on .i have got Firefox on but i need another. then i should be OK.
once again THANKS.Hello ivanoe.
My I/E problem has been solved. Check out my latest post and see if it relates to you. My problem was Malware Bytes anti Exploit and if you have that you have to update to the latest version.
Good luck.
Barryivanoe, what version of Windows are you using?
