I personally don't mind Internet Explorer, I actually like using it... but unfortunately it isn't working for me in WCP. I Upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate yesterday and ever sense then IE fails to even open and the metro icon doesn't even show up.

I am running Emachines e527 with Windows 8 consumer Preview

Intel Celeron 2.2 GHz with 2GB/Ram 160GB HDD

If anyone can help that'd be great

Do you have a connection to the internet? Can any of the metro apps access the web?

Win sock tends to get corrupted during upgrade installations for some reason. This will keep IE from working correctly.

To fix the problem open an elevated command prompt and type in the following commands hitting enter after each one then reboot and test IE 10 again. :)

The second command is to reset the TCP/IP stack.

netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)

I looked throughout Microsoft Website and searched for a download to see if I can re-install IE10. I found a download but when I tried to install it, it said i needed developer preview...

Actually i found out a system refresh solved my problem fantastically. Unfortunatly it deleted all of my software but left a nifty list with download links so I wasn't too upset.

I found that the problem most occurs when you use the Upgrade option to go from Windows 7 to 8 so that might have been your problem.
