How do you change the default browser from Chrome to IE

[almurta]

Hi,

I seem to be unable to get IE as the default browser on my new VPCF12Z1E. Despite IE telling me it isn't and me ticking the box to say it should be.

Grateful for any ideas...

Cheers

Hi Thalamus_ and thanks also to  svemoos.

Afraid I can't confirm it working for me as this particular situation dissappeared when I used Windows Easy Transfer to help move some stuff from my old machine. (Now have a few other issues!)

Im delighted to hear though that Sony Help Desk have come up with a less invasive solution than they asked me to follow. (i.e Fully Recover the machine - which led me back to exactly the same problem after a happy afternoon of backups, reinstallation etc!). Their  final shot was that it's not a Sony problem but lies with the "Browser Manufacturer".

Cheers - and thanks for the help.

Thanks for the feedback almurta, we'll keep investigating and hopefully find a solution that works for you..

Hi,

Im the IT guy and i was having the same problem - THIS is THE solution:) It took me the whole day of googling to find it (at least i dont have to buy new windows OS:smileywink: )

Hi kenx19

Unfortunately your post doesnt actually seem to link to a solution as it implies. (Possibly security blocking something on my machine?)

However, as i said before my solution seems to have arisen from other changes brought about by "Windows Transfer" so I don't actually have a replicable solution to share!

Sadly seems that's lots of valuable time wasted on something that should'nt happen in the first place!

Cheers
