Ok now, i got the msn explorer. Since i didnt use it for years, i kinda forgot how it looks like.
They merged with hotmail right? (log in window pops up and the logo is with a butterfly?)
If there still is a as always also a only IE, then i still dont have it yet.
There's a way to reinstall IE but no guarantees, if you want to try it, let me know.
I would use FireFox A more secure browser! Easy to make the change!

But for windows security updates it says many if not all the times that i need the I Explorer to download any windows security updates and service packs. And for those i actually wanted the IE.
Do you know any other way of getting windows security updates without IE?
You can probably do a search for them and download them, I wouldn't install IE7 - better of with IE6 for now. You have to tweak the registry first before you can install it though.
And to my question on the file-share programs connection problems, how do i check that i have the right ports open and still am not to open for attacks?
I tried it with closing ALL of my firewalls and it still didnt work.
I'm not sure on this.
"Setup could not verify the integrity of the files needed for installation. Make sure the Cryptographic service is running on this computer. "
This is the error message i receive after clicking on download IE 7 beta on the microsoft page. I had a successful "Genuine Check" b4 that.
Start the Administrative Tools utility in Control Panel.
Double-click Services. (this will open the services window)
Right-click Cryptographic Services, and then click Properties.
Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Start.
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) <--- make sure this is running also
