The Internet Options will not appear when I click on it. Uninstalling IE 7 does not work (another issue, some file can not be found during the uninstall) so that is not an option.
I believe the problem first occured when I opened IE 7/without add-ons.
Does anyone know of any solutions? I disabled Avast and my firewall, but that does not solve the problem.
You could try reinstalling IE7 (to the same location)and then have a look here prior to an uninstall attempt How to uninstall Internet Explorer 7 Microsoft How to uninstall Internet Explorer 7
What do you mean by “I opened IE 7/without add-ons”
Gathering from the Microsoft message boards, a lot of other people are having issues with IE 7. I really liked IE 6. It looks like they tried to fix something that wasn’t broken.
