Repair IE in xp
Insert you xp cd in the drive and type sfc /scannow in the start>run box. When sfc is finished reboot and IE is repaired.

It does an excellent job dai, and the only drawback is that all applicable browser updates will have to be reinstalled.

take care

Got a dumb question for ya...can you enlighten me on what I am doing wrong on this fix? I only have a Reinstall XP CD, tried it, said it did not find sfc/scannow. Am I supposed to be putting spaces, like: sfc / scannow, not sfc/scannow? Anyone?

Hi again...did the correct spaces on the sfc / scannow with the disk in and nothing happened now. Just kept on the screen asking what I wanted to do...guess it just doesn't know what I want to do...I tried. Any clues as so what my problem is? Thanx!

Don't have any more ideas but just want to confirm the command...you may be entering it correct but you have yet to type it correct in a post here...there is a space before the / but not after it

I would take all that it has to offer as most of what you will see are security patches.
