    I've recently begun to experience a new problem with my IE 11 on this computer only.

    An example would be clicking on the FAQ link for this section. I'll get the new tab but, no content.

    My other computers are unaffected by this. I believe I may have accidently disabled or enabled a feature that would cause this. I've searched all my settings and have been unable to resolve this.

    Is there a place I should look that would have a setting for this?

    Hi boyracer. Try this, click Start< type Command Prompt. In the search results right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

    When the Command Prompt window opens type regsvr32 C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll and hit enter.

    You should get a confirmation that registering the dll file succeeded. Reboot the computer for the changes to take effect and see if that solves the problem.

    Neither of the methods above worked.

    Using the Command Prompt brought the following response: binary c:\program failed to load

    I reset the IE settings as suggested and that failed also.

    Did you try Start IE 11 Go to Menu Bar\Tools\Internet Options\Tabs. When a new tab is opened, open: You get three options. 1. A blank page. 2. A new tab Page 3. Your first home page. Choose one option click OK then click Apply and OK. I hope this is what you are looking for.

    Because that path contains one or more spaces, try the command:

    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll "

    instead.



    You might try using Windows' "System Restore" to roll Windows back to a previous state when your computer was functioning correctly. System Restore allows you to undo system changes without affecting your personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos.

    Windows Restore was the first thing I tried.

    I tried the command regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll" and I got the same response.

    I then looked into Windows Explorer to see if ieproxy.dll was present and it was. Then I went into local services to see if I had accidently turned something off. But, I didn't see any way to restore my missing function.

    After resetting IE I no longer have the toolbar across the top of the browser page.

    Right click the top of the web page right next to the address bar and select Menu Bar.

    How is IE11 performing now after resetting it? Is it still the same?

    Try this:
    1. Using your mouse, highlight the entire following red command:
      regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll "​
      then right-click the highlighted command and select "Copy ".

    2. Click the Windows 7 Start orb, right-click in the "Search programs and files" box, select "Paste ", press the [Enter] key and you should get a little "RegSvr32" pop-up stating:

      Code:
      DllRegisterServer in C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet 
      Explorer\ieproxy.dll succeeded.

    Okay, then let's try this:

    1. Click the Windows 7 Start orb, type in:

      cmd

      and press [Enter].

    2. At the command prompt, type:

      cd /d "c:\program files (x86)\internet explorer "

      and press [Enter]. Your command prompt should now look like this:

      C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer>

      If not, type "exit" without the quotes to close the CMD (command) Window.

    3. At the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer>" command prompt, type:

      c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe ieproxy.dll

      and press [Enter] and you should get a little RegSvr32" pop-up stating:

      Code:
      DllRegisterServer in C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet 
      Explorer\ieproxy.dll succeeded.

    I got as far back as C:|windows and typed in \system32\regsvr32.exe ieproxy.dll. The module ieproxy failed to load.

    I haven't done any command line stuff since the late 80s so I'm real rusty working with it. My real problem seems to be getting the syntax correct.

    I did however manage to get into c:\Program files but haven't made it into the internet explorer directory were ieproxy.dll resides.

    I'll keep working at it.

    Ok, now I think we're getting somewhere. I typed

    c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer>c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe ieproxy.dll

    I got this message: The module "ieproxy.dll was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005" and that I should look it up online. Which I will
