I may have discovered what is causing the issue but cant find a solution.

The IE 11 version on my PC has CO at the end which means its a modified Corporate version. Dont know why that is or how to fix the bug in it.

It worked fine for me in IE 11 when I clicked on the New Driver link by opening in the same window - both with ActiceX on and off.

Do you have to log in to get actual quotes ?

See how it performs when you run IE without add-ons.

Go Start type iexplore -extoff and press enter then hit the home page icon to browse.

What's your Flash Player version like on this machine ?

Thanks for your time & efforts.

Yes I need to log in and then get the quotes. As I said all works fine on my laptop but not this pc.
Have tried with no add ins but still have the same problem it tries to open the link but then nothing.
I have downloaded the latest flash player see cant be the issue.

Any further thoughts.

Its a car insurance comparison website

When I log in to my account the links to get quotes do not work in the same window but I can open by right clicking and opening in a new window or using chrome.IE tries to open the link as the page flashes but then nothing happens. I can open the link on another laptop so I know its not the webpage.

HI,

I am using win 7 with IE11. I cannot open links/hyperlinks on certain web pages. I can open these in Chrome and on another PC. When I right click the link they can open in a new window but not in the same window. I have tried a reset of IE and also the Microsoft fixit and checked the default program status but no joy. This is on a different PC to my previous queries.

Any suggestions guys.

That Windows Update error is a difficult one and in some cases, a factory reset/reinstall was the only solution.

If you've run the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT), it will have produced a log.

This can be found in C:\Windows\Logs then double click on the Checksur one which will open in Notepad.

Of the MS Fixits, have you run this one to reset the update components ?

Have you tried updating just one update at a time, or Googling for the MS direct download for each update ?

As for your IE problem, not sure if the Anvi Browser Repair Tool will do anything for you.

http://www.anvisoft.com/browser-repair-tool.html

Click on the IE icon in the left pane to see/edit the repairs.

How long have you had the IE problem and did it occur after downloading anything and have you tried IE without add-ons ?

Windows key+r then type iexplore -extoff and press enter then click on the home page icon to browse.

Hi Boggin

Thanks for your detailed reply.

I will try the solutions you have given and report back. I don't really want to do a complete reinstall and will only do this as a last resort.
I think I have sorted the IE11 problem as I've appears this was something to do with rendering.

Hi,
I have recently become a pro user to solve my problems but I am still having problems installing 11 windows updates and get the dreaded error message 80070490.  I have tried the full suite or repairs and a few other fixes from Microsoft but still no joy.

I am using a Sony vaio laptop with win 7 home premium , 64 bit with IE11.

I don't know if it is related but when I open some pages in IE11 all the text is in a narrow width down the left hand side of the page but there is no problem when viewed in chrome or on another computer. I have tried resetting IE and playing with the compatibility settings but again no luck. Maybe this is related to getting some updates which can't be installed.

Hope you can help.
Barry
