    Try installing Firefox or Chrome.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?
  • If I understand you, go to "programs and FEatures" in control panel and look under "turn windows features on and off", or under "uninstall a program" select the "show updates" button where you can uninstall IE10 - I think.
    good luck anyway

    Or what WTFH said
    Friendly greeting!

    Hi Guys, thanks or replies.
    !; Got Chrome bu tneed IE, because printer /camera / needs it to operate. Just tried to installed printer drivers, but cannot see,it, or use it, as it is via IE, and it goes to IE, but webpage is blank??? .
    "; Not in Programs??? BUT Chrome is.
    Tried again t download IE10, from CNET, but got a load of Dross as well, had to take off to see if it was installed ok originally ,but it say,s "cannot because I have a later version".??
    The latest version is IE11,as far as I know, and that,s not on,?( I, think), because 9& 10 were in recent downloads. but there must be a version on, for it to say that?
    wierd

    IE 10 has one other major installation problem. It only works on Windows 8 and Windows 7.

    Hi D, I,ve got 7, just installed it.
    I sometimes get MSN homepage up, but will not browse. page not responding, ask windows to fix, sends me round in a loop? How do I remove IE altogether, and try to put another version of IE on.?What version should I put on, IF and when, I can remove whatever version is on?

    Oh yes you can! I've not used IE for over a decade.
    Hi espresso, I,ve clicked on download IE19, again from D ,slink,and started via Windows store.
    Then it said, some files in use, restart pc.
    Did that, then dialogue box top left, said, resettind ddl???
    no signs of anything except blye light flashing as it was doing some, but nothing else.
    I,ve just tried installing Printer, got to the end, and asked to see ink level, took me to IE,( blank) so didn,y know if instal was complete.
    However, the icons were there, clicked on printer, opened IE.(blank) page, so how do I use it?
    There,s something stopping it, whether, I can do without, itor not, cannot understand why it wont operate?
    Why does printer open in IE?
    AOL, my ISP, piggy backs on it.
    stumped;;;

    Your problem is because you have AOL crap on your system! Just because your ISP is AOL, it doesn't mean that you NEED to use their b@stardised browser and other associated crap that they want you to install on YOUR system.

    Personally I would use Drecrapify here on your system to remove all traces of AOL junkware as it is simply not necessary and causes various problems like you have experienced.
    E. I,ve just done a clean instal and put W7 on.2 daysago, AOL, ain,t on. Nothings on. except what i,m putting on now.Started anew.
    I tried to put my printer on this morning, went fine, until it asked if I wanted to see ink levels, before it was complete.That,s when it, went wrong.it took me to blank IE page , so didn,t know if instal completed, but icons were there, tried them, and they took me to blank nIE page?????
    i,ve just turned pc back to another restore point(,yesterday), taking that the attempt off, and the Crap that IE re- download attempt this morning ,and now it won,t exe, says D:\ is not valid Win 32 application, but it was this morning.
    I,ve just loaded drivers for camera, fine, but, now cannot put printer on.
    I,ve also done Sons, and it,s loading on his, Identical clean instal.

    OK, before you go to the printer and check its ink...
    Can you get onto the internet using IE on your computer?
    What make & model of printer is it?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Hi WTFH, NO I cannot access IE at all, even thiought it says it,s on pc.
    My printer is NOT now on pc, as , when It failed this morning, I turned PC back to last restore point, Yesterday, which took it off again.The main reason for turn back, was the tolbars that came with IE, s attempt to re-download, was still on chromes bowser, and still is, so restore, didn,t shift it, just stopped me putting printer drivers back on.
    Sorry if that doesn,t make sense.
    HPdeskjet 3050a all in one.
    j11 series.
    It went on this morning, now, getting the Win 32 error???
    But cameras loaded after it.?
    And the printer disk, works on sons, got them both .Double clean instal

    Can't leave you alone for a minute....

    Have you run a System Restore to before the time that you installed IE10?

    Did you download it manually or did it come with Windows Updates?
