Vista (SP1) IE has errors constantly - browser goes white, and wont close as well

[james]

Hi,

I have installed some programs that i always use.
This is a new pc.
IE seems to have a problem very often.Usually when i enter a url at the top
and want to navigate there,IE page turns white,and will not close even using
the Task Manager,until i reboot the pc.
HOW do i RE-install IE from the Recover CD.Where do i find the exe file to
do it or copy and paste the files ???

the version is Vista SP1 32bit, copywrite 2007 Microsoft Corporation, Home
Premium

Thanks very much

Hi,

You can't reinstall IE, it's an integrated part of the operating system.
What you'd need to do is look at what you've installed and see which may
have included plugon/addons for IE, as they are the most likely cause of the
problem you are having.
