I have been trying to update my PC after reformatting and everytime I try to do certain updates, after the download I get a message saying I need to have "blahhdy blahh" installed. The confusing thing is---I have the particular program installed (internet explorer 5.5 in this case) but it is like this is not being recognised. Another problem is that I could use the Xara 3d header maker online some weeks ago, but now everytime I try to make a header (png files) they just dont work and I just get this annoying white box with a red cross. This was even before I reformatted! I tried to reformatt hoping that I would recover the files back to how they were and then I could start over again, as I assumed I had wiped some drivers and we needed a spring clean on the PC anyways. Does anyone know exactly what is happening or what I need to download to rectify the latter problem and what is happening with the download for updates? I have enabled everything in my browser and there are no security things in place that could be affecting downloads installs or chowing png files as far as I know.

i cant get in to my control panel it keeps coming up as error 29 and wont let me in could any one let me know how to fix this plsi was trying to ugrade micro soft explorer and was told to download 5.5 first i have windows me
