    Internet Explorer 9 trouble

    Hi, Hope someone can help, i've downloaded ie 9 and a message appeared saying it was successfully installed.





    However there is no desktop icon to click on. If i click on the taskbar or dock icons.It says launch internet explorer 9, but nothing happens.

    If i look in installed updates Windows Internet Explorer 9 is there.


    info os vista 32 bit sp2

    Any help will be gratefully received, thank you.

    HI,rich646

    Thanks for reply, i tried what you said.
    What happens is after I've dragged it to the desktop and clicked on the icon (which is the msn icon for some reason).

    I get the original page i downloaded from which is from goggle chrome, so by doing as you said i,m still accessing chrome not ie 9 any ideas.

    regards

    What browser are you using and does it work the way it should?

    You are the first one to tell me about such a problem, but seems to be common enough for a MS Mr Fix it
    The Internet Explorer icon is missing from your desktop
