I have been running IE 9 on Windows 7 since I bought my laptop, with no problems (approx three years).
Four or five days ago I used it in the afternoon, no problems, and then in the evening it would not load when I hit the IE icon. The machine had not bee switched off and no updates had been applied in the interim.
I have tried resetting IE as suggested in several online forums and also tried downloading a portable version of "Fix it" on my main PC; neither solution worked. Fix it will download but then I get an error message saying "try again later" which I have done over the past two days to no effect. I have tried running IE with "no add-ons"; no joy! I have downloaded the Microsoft Safety Scanner; no malware found!
I am rapidly running out of options so I'd be very grateful for any suggestions that might fix this glitch!
