Question for Raven: Bad Install of IE ver 10.

System:

Asus motherboard
Processor: AMD 5 core (one so-called core is for graphics)
8 G RAM
Windows 7 Professional

Browser: MicroSoft Internet Explorer (IE), version 9
Email: Thunderbird

Internet Provider: att.net using Yahoo!
Internet Connection: DSL by ATT over phone line.

Earlier this week, about 8 updates came in and I noticed IE ver 10 was available, so I checked this also.

All downloaded and installed without a detectable incident.
After the computer was rebooted, I had trouble accessing my email stored on my IP's server. (I read most of my email while it is on the server and download to my computer only the ones I want to keep for awhile. I discard the unwanted ones while those are still on the server.)

With the new installs, I could log into my IP server (ATT.net who is vending Yahoo!). I could browse and read items on my home page, but could not log into my email.

Not knowing which download may have caused the problem, I reset my system to the state before these downloads using the Recovery feature. I began to download and install these updates by one or two at a time and testing after each system change. It was found that the new version of IE was the cause.

I can't be sure what should be done to correct. Did the new install of IE not pick up some setting that could be manually entered, or was it a bad download, or maybe it was beta-ware. Or worse yet, I have a buggered download of IE on my system that will not go away of its own accord, but needs to be manually deleted. The reason I suspect the install file is on my computer is that when I tried again to get a copy of IE ver10, it came in too fast for my DSL conection - I suspect it detected a copy already in my computer and did not refresh the copy.

At present, I am running IE ver 9. How can I find the download copy of IE 10 if it is yet on my computer, and can I delete it?

Did I inadvertently download IE ver 10 while it was still in beta and was not ready for prime time?

Thank you in advance

It is in public release but there have been issues as you can see. I would fully remove IE10 from your computer. You can also search for any IE10 files and remove them. It will revert back to IE9 and should work as it did before. I would suggest waiting a week or so and trying the download on its own.

I would also suggest that you download it from the actual download site instead of your windows updates. I will provide the link, select your language and your version which is 7 sp1and 64bit.

If you prefer you can also download it then go into safe mode and install, less things running so less to interfere.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Here is a link that might be useful: I E10

Our website that we use for work is only IE compatible. My computer installed a bunch of updates the other day, and the website wouldn't function properly.

I hate trying to figure out things that go wrong, but I did see that IE 10 was one of the updates. I uninstalled it earlier this week and things are now back to normal.

Hey, Raven, What's your favorite tablet?

sure EmmaR you can use it for what ever you want and on an android tablet you can add multiple types of reader apps so you can read any type of book format you want, including the kindle books using the kindle app. I guess I want a 10" because I don't have one LOL I really like the little bit bigger size I get with my 8" Vizio so if it was light weight enough I think I would like the bigger screen size. Especially with my eyesight. I know it is hard for me to go back to my 7" tablet when I have been using the 8" alot. It is great however that we can adjust the font for our seasoned eyes LOL My husband is always touching the touchscreen when he shouldn't be and then it reacts and he gets all huffy at it LOL he will be sitting there telling it no no no I did not tell you to go to some other page, well yes you did you just stuck your finger on a link!! I have my recliner right beside his and I can not tell you how many times he is shoving it over to me to "fix" it when all he needs to do is hit the go back button. I need more patience Lord please! This is why I got him the readers that do NOT have a touch screen! I offered to upgrade him to my 7" but he said does it have that darn touch screen(yep) so we know the answer to that one! NO. I have no problems what so ever with any of the touch screens. Now going from the resistive to the multi touch is a learning experience. I do always do the calibration settings test as soon as I get any new tablet to get it set to my touch.

Amidst the horror stories on this forum of contractors who shirk their responsibilities, there are regular stories of people who are paranoid of confronting their GC, who proceed to do so and have the GC completely agree with them and redo the problem area without question. You shouldn't necessarily assume that he'll react by storming off the job, especially given his high Houzz rankings, assuming they mean anything. Think through the possibilities carefully. If he's a lout, then if you bring it up now he could storm off the job. If he's a lout and you bring it up later, he'd just storm off the job later. And it sounds like you're calculating that he's potentially a lout, so you want to wait to bring it up so you get more done. If he's a good guy, then if you bring it up now he'll fix it. If he's a good guy and you wait to bring it up, he might say "hey, if you had told me sooner I would have fixed it, but now it's going to cost me a lot more because I've put trim in, etc., so you're stuck with it." THAT's what we're all trying to warn you about. You run the risk of alienating a good GC by waiting. That's neither fair nor reasonable. And you said you have confidence in him. Why, then, are you acting like you know he's a lout?

From what I've read, most of the changes are of a User Interface nature. The under-the-hood stuff has been stable and efficient back to 7. Of course, we all know that it was just the UI area that caused Microsoft the nightmares that they're trying to put behind them. WIn 8 has been great to work with as far as my experience has gone. The infamous Start button problem became something most people found could be quickly and easily fixed. Smartphones have had useable voice recognition capabilities for many years. My five year old car has it for telephone use, and in my newest car I can control everything in the center part of the dashboard, except climate control. I've found that the novelty quickly wears off. Even with very capable voice comprehension software as is now available, it remains easier to not use it, in most cases.

Never plant the tall Mexican ruellia in Houston! ( I like the short clumping Katy ruellia.) That plant is the curse of my garden. My master gardener friend gave me on purple and one white. the purple has marched more than 1/2 way around the fence borders. She failed to mention that she pulled them all the time and her many paved pathways helped to keep them contained. I sprayed it with Round Up and it shot seeds at me and made popcorn sounds. (That hurt, too!) They grow 7 ft tall in up through my lemonade honeysuckle vine and laugh at me over the tops of the suburban fences. I have pull and paid others hundreds of dollars to pull and they keep coming back, since they also send out awful runners. This plant survived the poison ivy and brush killer and Ground Clear, as did wedellia. The wedellia was gone for three year, cam back and jumped to another bed. I would pour gasoline on them both if I knew that would kill them. The wedellia roots where it the leaf nodes touch the ground and smothered my daylilies.

Yes in my own personal opinion it is not quite ready for the majority of users since it is so new and all the bugs have not been worked out. I personally have not installed it yet.
Doing so with just it as the only install is best and from the site I linked to then while in safe mode will usually give better results.

Unquote.

I had downloaded IE 10 from MicroSoft's Official Update site. I saw it in their list of downloads for my system. It is not imperative that I have IE 10 right now, so I shall wait.

Your suggestion for switching to the Safe Mode to sort out problems is a good one.

My main concern was that I may have a bad copy of IE 10 (compressed download file) somewhere in my computer and I'd like to get rid of it, but I don't know its file name or where it may reside.

Again, thanks for your reply.
