Hi, I'm having a few annoying problems with IE& on Vista, and I
wondered if there was a way to reinstall the IE7 components.
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium edition (fully patched) and I
have a number of issues that have existed possibly since the machine
was built - i.e. I'm not sure it ever worked!
The problems include:
1. The Search tool bar doe not work, I can type in it - but
pressing enter, or the search icon does nothing
2. The drop-down list of "back history" does not appear ... the
back button functions fine, but the drop down does not work
3. Most annoying of all - downloads, or new windows that are
invoked via script do not work, there are two different versions of
this fault:
a) the window will open and do nothing, but you can "stop"
the page and press refresh -- and then it works fine.
b) if the window is a pop-up the URL is not populated, and
there is no way to stop / refresh ... in this case I have found no
work around (other than firefox).
The problem also exists in the "no add-ons" version - but I'm not a
fan of add-ons anyway, so I only run Google toolbar.
