I mistakenly deleted my browser, what can I do?

Laptop emaschines with vista. I wanted to delete everything, just not the browser. I had fire-fox and explorer, both are gone. How do I get a browser on it again.

Vista? You need a new operating system. Vista has been outdated for years and no longer receives any updates. With every browser on it you are a walking security hole in the Internet.

Buy Windows 10 for 35 euro and then everything goes like clockwork (if the hardware is right 😂)

There's no support for Windows Vista. The current web browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc. Running on Vista is no longer. With older web browsers you can no longer correctly display today's Internet pages and there are error messages.

But you can still make good use of the laptop with a Linux distribution. Here is the download of the ISO:

32bit: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/...p-i386.iso If you have less than 4GB of RAM
64bit: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/...-amd64.iso If you have 4GB of RAM or more

This is the current stable long-term support version (LTS). Lubuntu uses much less system resources than Windows.

Then the ISO with this tool http://www.freeisoburner.com/ burn to a blank DVD or if you boot from USB can write the ISO with this tool https://unetbootin.github.io/ on an empty FAT32 formatted USB stick.

Then simply boot the DVD or the stick and follow the instructions of the installer. It offers the possibility to completely delete the hard disk. I recommend performing a full installation and also selecting the item third-party software. It will be set up the same wireless. Have WLAN key ready. It will also be the same as the latest Firefox mitinstalliert.

Upon completion of the installation and the first reboot, the update manager will contact you. Install these updates. The updating can also be completely automated so that it runs in the background.

How to install programs: Start Menu> System Tools> Software. This is like an Appstore and is also served. Here you will find, for example VLC, the free DJ software Mixxx, GIMP image editing and much more.

Only install the Flashplayer if you absolutely need it. To do this, go back to the Start menu> System tools> LXTerminal. Enter the following command and terminate with Enter:

sudo apt install flashplugin-installer -y

This installs a script that always automatically downloads and installs the latest Flashplayer from the Adobe page.

Lubuntu goes off like a rocket. By comparison, Windows is a lame duck.

Vista? That still exists?

If that's true, what you've written there and actually "delete" mean, then you have your system sustainably damaged.
Your described project is such a nonsense, that you should not let you to a computer.

Solution: Play back backup. But I guess you do not have one.

Of course I can't rule out that you meant something else or wanted to ask questions - but hey: You just asked what you asked.

Thank you for your answer. I already thought about it.

Thank you very much for your detailed info. I have to deal with this in a quiet hour. Hope my laptop is playing.

Jepp, I got along great for 4 years. I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 2 years ago and am totally dissatisfied.

I already thought about it. As you already wrote, the hardware must be right * gg *
