Recently had to reinstall windows 7 onto my computer. Have had issues with loading drivers pre and post installation (see thread 'Drivers will not reinstall properly following windows reinstallation') which is still ongoing as a problem. In addition to the performance problems with that issue, Internet explorer will not function although google chrome does - any suggestions to as to how to get internet explorer working again as it is my preferred web browser?
