Internet Explorer 8 - Starts but is blank

I had IE 7, it "broke". So I downloaded IE 8. Still did. I then used my recovery files to replace the ones I had. Thinking my program folder was broken. To anyone who says use firefox. I am, its that certain websites love IE*coughrobloxcough* and will not work in other browsers.

This is what I am doing... Clicking Internet Explorer, it doesn't open up. 1 minute later it does but its blank. I can type in websites but it will not go to it. It can't close so I have to use CTRL+ALT+DEL to manually close it.

Anyone have any suggestions? Its very annoying.. -_-

I am going to try CC to see if it fixes it. What sucks is that all my restore points are somehow "gone" and now I can't go back to the one I went to before that fixed this problem. -_-

I also try Registry Booster to see if it was a DLL error, It didn't fix anything.
I also found out this isn't ONLY an internet explorer error. You know how Windows comes with a Windows help menu that pops up once in a while? Well, all the images are red X's. O_o
Tried using the registry cleaner and the normal cleaner to see if it fixed anything. It did not.
I can't find the security options for internet Explorer because its not even there.... O_o
Is there a way to uninstall IE8 so I can go back to IE6?

Did Malware scan, cleaned no help.
I downloaded IEFix to see if it would work. It did not, it just crashes.

Any help? I'm really tired of IE -_-

Hello Autosaver,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Have you tried it without add-ons? Sounds like one of them may be causing problems. Not in Vista at the moment, but think it's in Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > IE (no add-ons)

Hope this helps.

It still didn't work. Someone suggested me to run this in safe mode and see if it works.
I ran Safe mode and it I couldn't get the start menu to work. It was slow and unresponsive. -_-

You could try this:

If that doesn't help,you can uninstall IE8 by Start->Windows update->Installed updates-> Right click IE8 and uninstall.
Then you can download and install IE8 from here:

Internet Explorer 8: Worldwide sites

I don't know about those 'fixers' you've run. I'm generally against running reg cleaners. Only two things I can think to try.

Reset IE. Control Panel (icons view) > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > Reset

If that doesn't work I'd try. Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on/off > uncheck IE8 > close. I'd restart just to be sure and then go back and check the box again. This should reinstall IE.

Edit: Beat me to it

I can't find the "internet options" you are trying to point out.
I'll try the IE fix above your post.
A link using Toontowns launcher got Internet Explorer to work! But it doesn't work when I use it using start. So, toontown might be an optional way of getting it... XD
Edit:I've seen that link before, I'm going to try uninstalling!
Edit:Funny, IE isn't on the list. O_o
Edit: Reinstalled = Nothing
