Solved Search Provider

My search providers are not available. I get a message that a program is trying to change my search provider, Bing, and Internet has reset it. I do not want Bing, I want Google. But when I go to the search providers, both Bing and Google are not available. How do I make them available? I use IE9

Hi frodi,

To add or Change search providers in IE9 please follow the link for detailed instructions: Change and manage search providers - Microsoft Windows

If you want to remove Bing from the computer, please go to Programs and Features, then highlight Bing (if available) and then uninstall it.

Please post back with the results

Hello Madhur and Brink. I did try those options yesterday, but both Google and Bing had 'unavailable' noted. So I could do nothing. I decided to uninstall Photoshop Elements 10. I had just installed and registered that program. However during the download I constantly got error 213:11. The download finally installed the program but it had major problems. So I tried to uninstall elements, but did not succeed. The big problem there is that I did not first deactivate the program. I didn't know one had to do that. This is where the error 1310 popped up and told me that IE had reinstalled Bing. Only they had NOT. I could do nothing with it as it was unavailable. The attempt at uninstalling elements has landed me in the soup. I cannot reinstall it, so I can deactivate it and try another uninstall. When I put the download disk in, it attempts to uninstall instead of install. And this is not the only problem here, I also got a new Wacom Tablet Intuos5 small touch. That has a problem with the driver. A new driver was provided, but that crash dumps my pc. However, my attempts at uninstalling elements 10 have now resulted in IE9 putting Bing back as the search provider. I don't think I'll try to put my preferred Google back, (IE9 deleted Google). I shall try to manually uninstall elements and then contact Adobe. Any more advice would be most welcome.

I uninstalled elements 10 succesfully and reloaded the program. It went without a hitch this time. Wacom has just replied with their suggestions for a fix and I shall do that tomorrow. When all is well I hope to install Google search provider also. Thank you both for your help.

That's great news Frodi. Thank you for posting back with your results. :)
