We have just connected a PC to Broadband but this has managed to currupt IE.
NTL have suggested that we re-install IE. The PC came with pre-installed
system without disks. Can anyone explain how to re-install IE. We would have
to use another PC to download and then transfer using CD. Can IE self-extract
be found on Microsoft site?
 
Hi dizzy :-)

As you did not mention the version of Windows or IE you are using, I can
will provide some general information that may help with all. Just select
the one that applies to your OS. You might review the The Internet Explorer
Repair Tool below first.

TO REPAIR WINDOWS XP -

Unlike the previous versions of the Windows program, the IE6 is a core
part of the XP program. A reinstall over the existing install can cause
problems, and there are specific instructions that can reduce the
chance of such problems. However, it is always much safer to do a
repair instead of a reinstall. A reinstall should only be done as the
very last thing when all else has failed. And then only according to
the proper instructions.

Be sure that your AV and firewall is disabled, and follow all
instructions carefully
