I have Vista Home Premium, I no longer have an Active X drop down box!
Even though in my settings Active X is enabled for Internet Explorer 7.
My computer specs are 32 Bit Desktop Vista Home Premium.
I figure there must be a problem with Internet Explorer 7 as it can't see most things anymore while using it and I can no longer install active X so I can't download and install programs I need to play games, like Java & Adobe Flash Player ( http://java.com and http://adobe.com ) when you click the icons that you want to install, you should get a Active X drop down box, without that drop down box you never get the pop up box that allows you to save the program or install it!
So my question is this:
How do I reinstall or repair Internet Explorer 7 with windows Vista?
I have tried many things without success.
I thought if I upgraded my browser to Internet Explorer 8 that would resolve my problem but it didn't, so I uninstalled 8.
So I thought I could do a repair to Internet Explorer 7 using my Windows Vista DVD, like I use to with Windows XP, but there is no option for that while in Windows.
So I used the Vista DVD to boot-up with, thinking I could repair it or repair the operating system from there, and that would fix my Internet Explorer 7 problems, but there isn't an option like that, like I had using Windows XP CD.
My question is, is there a way around this problem without formatting and reinstalling everything?
I have installed Firefox so I can at least do stuff on line, but I seek a fix for my Internet Explorer 7 problems in windows Vista.
I have reset IE7 to all default settings without it fixing my problems.
I have no pop-up stoppers installed, no toolbars, and I ran programs to delete all spyware and ran a full virus scan and don't have any of them issues going on.
Thanks in advance for your answers,
