How to Reset Internet Explorer

Are you experiencing any of these symptoms with Internet Explorer?

Slow browsing.
Frequently stops responding or stops working.
Error messages that Internet Explorer has "encountered a problem and needs to close".
Visual C++ "runtime error" has occurred in Iexplore.exe.

If so, then you should try resetting Internet Explorer because the problem may have been caused by damaged or incompatible Internet Explorer settings or add-ons.

Here's how to use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature:

1. Exit all programs, including Internet Explorer (if it is running).
2. If you use Windows XP, click Start, and then click Run. Type the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:

inetcpl.cpl

If you use Windows Vista, click Start Button. Type the following command in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER:

inetcpl.cpl

The Internet Options dialog box appears.

3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Reset Internet Explorer settings, click Reset. Then click Reset again.
5. When Internet Explorer finishes resetting the settings, click Close in the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box.
6. Start Internet Explorer again.
