      Sadly, you need a bullet to put you out of your misery.

      Download firefox, opera or chrome. Use anything but explorer.

          How about reinstalling internet explorer 9 then when nothing happen back to 8 then back to 9 then back to 8 then pc will give up on you.

                  On the start menu look in All Programs and find Internet Explorer. Click on it and drag it onto the homescreen, will create a shortcut.

                  I do agree with the others, though, Chrome and Firefox are much better and faster browsers.

                          Google Chrome all the way, fastest browser by far, and think it's only ever crashed once since I've had it.

                          IE crashes all the time, and firefox is just as bad if you have a lot of windows open
                          Don't let failure go to your heart, don't let success go to your head.

                              advice: use IE only for British Gas and install Firefox
