I am on my desktop computer, but take my laptop (yeah, I know, get a phone that has internet) won't load Internet Explorer. Forget what the error code was, but off the top of your head, what would be the easiest way to fix it?
I actually run Vista on both my laptop and decktop. 
I tried deleting the Internet Explorer Files on my laptop, and was gonna load the files from my desktop in their place, but the laptop won't let me erase those files. Damn, I wish my computer savy daughter wasn't off to Navy Boot Camp to help meeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vmax84 |

Don't use IE. That's your main problem. Firefox, Chrome, etc. are much, much better in every way.

Get a new laptop. Explorer is the best web browser out there. Kill yourself if you can't afford one.

Or you could try system restore on your laptop, if IE works afterwards you could just download firefox, etc. directly. |

vmax84 Obviously, because I make a very good living not being able to decipher "long ass code" which tells me what the problem is. |

Ok, so I can google "Firefox" on this desktop that is working fine, download "Firefox" onto one of my flash drives, install on my laptop and I should be good to go?

Or if you really want IE, try uninstalling it, then downloading the latest version from MS on another computer. And yes, error codes are important. They tell us geeks where to start the troubleshooting

You still won't have solved whatever the underlying problem is. And since in Vista, IE is an integral component of the operating system, you've still got problems. My first thought is you have some mal-ware of some type, though it may just be some crappy plugins or tool bars that don't play nice. I just had to uninstall 8 toolbars on my step-mother's PC to save her IE. You need to find someone who knows about computers to take a look at it for you and fix it. |

Download CCleaner on your desktop. Move install file to USB memory stick and install it on your laptop. Run the program. See if that fixes the error.
Definitely not guaranteed, but worth a shot. |

Politicians, Laptops, diapers, all need changing from time to time, and for the same reason.
Strip it all down, reformat, reinstall operating system. Load latest version of IE compatible with your Laptop. Profit. |
