If the above advice did not help then insert your W2K CD, click Exit when it starts. Then go to Start, Run, type sfc /scannow ,click OK. The program will check for corrupted files and reinstall them. Unfortunately it does not provide a report. See if your IE is working properly. If that does not help then try repair using the Win2K CD. You will need to change the booting order of your computer. When you start up your computer, press the Delete key (sometimes it is F2 or F5) and a BIOS screen will appear. There you will be able to change the booting sequence to CDROM being first. Save and reboot. Watch closely as "Boot from CDROM" will come up quickly and allow you no more than 5 seconds to "Hit the key to Boot from CDROM". When you hit a key it will boot from the Win2k CD. The CD will load files which takes a minute or two. Then, choices appear as Install, Repair etc. Choose Repair. It will ask you for Manual or Fast. Try the fast one 1st and if that doesn't work try the 2nd one. 2nd one,,,Reboot with win2k cd select install it will ask you if you want to try to repair the win2k you have on the machine select YES....Note: It will NOT overwrite you data files just put down new OS systems files.. When it is finished, while rebooting, change the sequence back to the original one, save and proceed. It should work. If you are new to this, I suggest that you jot down on paper what you are doing, so that you can retrace your steps. Finally, if that did not help your IE then you need to reinstall the IE but before you do that download SlimBrowser (as a backup, from download.com) BUT don't install it. Also before you can download IE, you need to change a registry value otherwise the download will not take place. Go to Start, Run, type regedit, click OK. Click the Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383} Look to the right window and highlight IsInstalled. Then click Edit, Modify and change the value from 1 to 0 Click OK, Exit Registry. Now download IE6 SP1 from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.asp Usually the download only takes into account the files that need replacing. If this does not fix the IE then install the SlimBrowser offline. This browser is IE based and far superior to IE. Hope your IE gets fixed, good luck.
