  1. Open an elevated Command Prompt window with administrator credentials.
  2. Type the following command, and then press Enter:

msiexec /i MicrosoftFixit50971.msi /quiet

The Fix It 50971 will enable MSHTML shim workaround.

You can download it from KB2794220.

Upgrading to the latest versions of Internet Explorer is always the better option, you may want to consider.
