Answer 2

If you uninstalll internet explorer and try to use an older version again afterwards you can't you can't reinstall it because it will say "A newer or this version of internet explorer is already installed on this computer". You have to remove certain files from the ie directory as some sites direct to downgrade internet explorer or otherwise you end up with serious defects like tab errors and other crap. It is impossible that i've found to get it working again the only way is by reinstalling windows or using a restore point before the update was initiated.

Answer 3

Don't uninstall Internet Explorer 6 or 7, they will do no harm on your computer. Instead download Mozilla Firefox and/or Avant Browser, both are much more reliable and fast, and both will be able to open websites that IE can't.

Answer 4

If you have recently downloaded Internet Explorer 7 this is probably the cause, as IT companies are advising their clients that IE7 is not ready for home use yet. Un-install IE7 if you have installed it, and your problems will disappear.

Answer 5

I'm thinking that your home page is set to file://c:/secure32.html. If this is not on your drive it won't find it. In the internet properties of IE you should be able to just set your homepage to whatever you want.

Answer 6

You only need to do a search on here to see how many people are having problems with IE. The best thing to do is download Mozilla Firefox available from http://www.mozilla.com/ Its faster, more user friendly, easily customisable to suit your needs and no problems.
