It has seen updates to its browsing speed and plugins but still is the most vulnerable browsing program out there in the market. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have been doing quite well against IE due to IE’s issues being greater than other programs. One such issue is the missing ieframe.dll file error that often pops up when Internet Explorer is opened by the user.

If you have been dealing with this error, then here is a simple and small fix for you:

1. StepGo to the following website using Chrome, Safari, Firefox or any other browser:

www.dll-files.com

3. StepOnce the file has been downloaded, unzip it and place it in the following directory:

C:\Windows\System32

4. StepYou are not yet done. You need to register the file in Windows registry for it to be recognized by Internet Explorer as a reliable file. Initiate Run (Windows Hot Key + R) and type in the following command and press Enter:

regsvr32 ieframe.dll
