Microsoft techs uninstalled/reinstalled IE9 three times. It still doesn't load web pages. I have done a complete virus scan, etc and tried IE Fix-It. I downloaded an IE registry free scan program, but reluctant to use it. I am sure it is just a simple thing, but what? I also tried to start IE 8 with no add-ons, that doesn't work. I had to download Chrome to be able to get on the internet.

Hi,Firstly, I would like to verify whether IE9 is pre-installed or not?If so, it cannot be uninstalled. I suggest you run Internet Explorer with “no-add-ons” model first.1. Open Start Menu, then click all programs, select Accessories, open the system tools;2. Right-click Internet Explorer(No Add-ons), run as Administrator.If the problem disappears, it could be caused by Internet Explorer add-ons, you could try following steps to narrow down.1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools and click Manage add-ons.2. Disable the Google add-ons and keep the needed items on.3. After finding the related item, double click the item and select Remove.4. Restart Internet Explorer and check the issue again.Also you can reset your IE settings. Here is an official article can be referred to.How to reset Internet Explorer settingshttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

1. check if are applied all Windows OS Updates 2. check Windows Firewall settings3. reset IE settings 4. if not works, downgrade to IE85. if IE8 works fine, try the IE9 upgrade again

It could be due to some kind of browser hijacks. Many popular antivirus software fail to detect browser hijacks. I recommend you to scan with MalwareBytes antimarware and panda cloud antivirus. I found these two are good at detecting and nutralizing browser hijacks

If still IE doesn't works,then try system restore to a point where it worked well.Else a system repair must fix this.If loading a webpage is required to have IE,then try IE tab for chrome addon -https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ie-tab/hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd

Did you ever use any proxy programs on your computer?Boot your machine in safe mode with networking and try Internet Explorerhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-modeInternet Explorer 9 (No Addons). type Internet Explorer in Start Search and you will find the one which can run without the add-ons.

in order to post here I would guess they have! :) It was sent from Chrome. And many people need IE to test websites, some sites work best in IE (because they are coded badly!) and it is all about choice!

Wanted to share that chrome now has extensions allowing devs to view pages as they would look in other browsers for testing purposes.

try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 .it will reset IE all to its default.does it shows any message or stays blank? what it does when you try to load pages?sometimes it is problem due to internet connectivity(for me), 32-bit version loads faster I guess.
