Windows XP
Delete the Internet Explorer
Most of the time there is no problem, but every once in a while the internet explorer is the cause of problems. In a lot of cases the solution is a deinstallation of the explorer and a brand new install.
Whether the opportunity to deinstall the Internet Explorer is available depends on the way it is installed on the system. There are a couple of situations where there is no possibility to perform a normal uninstall (the program appears in the list of available programs, but there is no "Delete" option or the delete option is "grayed out").
when it is not possible to deinstall the internet explorer in a normal way, follow the following procedure:
1. Push the startbutton select "Run".
2. Start de commandprompt by using the command CMD and push enter.
3. Execute the following command: %windir%\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe
4. Restart your computer after the deinstallation has completed and reinstall the internet explorer
