Correction on the previous question. I have lost internet explorer, can any tell me how to get it back. Thanks.

You can reset Internet Explorer settings to what they were when Internet Explorer was first installed on your PC. This is useful for troubleshooting problems that may be caused by settings that were changed after installation. Be aware that this process isn't reversible, and all previous Internet Explorer settings are lost after reset.

1. Close all open windows and programs.
2. Open Internet Explorer, select Tools > Internet options.
3. Select the Advanced tab.
4. In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, select Reset.
5. In the box, Are you sure you want to reset all Internet Explorer settings?, select Reset.
6. When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, select Close, and then select OK. Restart your PC to apply changes.

Hello,

was explorer working perfectly on your computer previously? If yes, you can try system restore.

System restore can help to back date your computer to the time when explorer was working.

Start > All programs > Accessories > System tools > System restore.

Read and follow instructions. System will restart during the restore process.....

After that try again and observe if explorer will function/work properly/normally.

Please let me know if this doesn't solve your problem so that I can help you further.

Regards.

How to Reset Internet Explorer settings
By resetting Internet Explorer settings, you return it to the state it was in when it was first installed on your computer. This is useful for troubleshooting problems that might be caused by settings that were changed after installation. When you restore Internet Explorer's default settings, some webpages that rely on previously stored cookies, form data, passwords, or previously installed browser add-ons might not work correctly. Resetting Internet Explorer to its default settings does not delete your favourites, feeds, and a few other personalized settings. See the table below for a complete list of all settings and information about whether they are reset or maintained.

Resetting Internet Explorer's settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot be recovered. Rather than resetting everything, you might want to reset specific settings or delete your webpage history.

Have any toolbars or new sofware been added recently? If so and you are using Win XP you may want to try a system restore to a previous point before the changes were made or uninstall the toolbars completely. Also disabled all Pop-Up blockers to see if that has any effect.clean up ur registry using reginout

Have you tried one photo at a time, sounds like you have an old PC or slow connection.
