"Class not registered" error message

Question

My computer appears to be possessed. Yesterday, all by itself{?}, Google Chrome installed itself on my computer and I started getting a message saying that "IE is no longer your default browser" I then found that any time I'm in Windows Live Mail and try to click on an e-mail link that will take me to another site or to the Internet, I get the error message  "Class Not Registered". I uninstalled Google Chrome but that didn't help.  I am running windows 8.1. I am at a losss as to what to do.

Thanks,  Scott"

Hi,

You can make IE as your default browser and check the issue:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/make-ie-default-browser#ie=ie-11

Also:

1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Under Programs, click **Uninstall a Program.**3. Locate Windows Live Essential 2011 then click **Uninstall/Change.**4. When a window appears, select **Repair all Windows Live programs.**5. Restart your computer after the repair.
