iexplore.exe

For a number of months I have not been able to use ie7 on my Vista machine. A
message came up once or twice indicating that there was a corrupt file:
iexplore.exe, and perhaps another file as well, I can't remember. I can't
download ie7 from regular websites. Any recommendations?

What if you go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools |
Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

Find out which program is issuing that message.
Perhaps some security program you have installed
but haven't told us about? FYI security programs
which try to keep track of things like checksums for
"protected" files can be misled by MS updates.
After all, if MS changes one of its files and you accept
that, you may need to also inform your security program
of that fact too.

Hint: in order to find out which program is issuing a message
you may be able to use Task Manager's Go To Process command.
E.g. find the item in TM's Application list which corresponds
with your message window, right-click on it and use Go To Process.
If that switches to something other than iexplore.exe (in TM's Processes tab)
you have your answer.
