Hello, I haven't used IE once since the first day installing my OS. However I am filling out a form and it clearly states it needs IE. I tried IE tab with Firefox but I got a IE tab doesnt work on this version message, so I tried IE tab on Chrome but it doesnt properly show some of the things on the site.

IE is not in my start menu even after doing a search. If I go to the IE dir the only .exe(s) that exist are ieinstal.exe(does nothing) and ielowutil.exe(also does nothing)

That did it. I forgot that I disabled it long ago. I am a noob. "Just go to run and type iexplore.exe" That didn't work, interestingly enough disabling it apparently also removes the .exe? "IE Tab 2 works for Firefox 3.6 by the way:" Thanks I'll give it a try!
