Without knowing what Operating System you're running or what version of Internet Explorer, we're shooting in the dark, but try this:
Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double click Add / Remove Programs. Look for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Internet Tools. Single click it and click add/remove at the lower right.
Select Repair and follow the prompts.

 

I have windows 98 second edition and IE 6.0.2600

 

Did you try the repair?

 

yes i did, how can i tell if the problem is fixed. One more thing, i recently installed Norton Antivirus 2003 on my system, can you also recommend a good firewall software. I have a DSL connection and thankyou so much for all your help.

 

Basically, see if you get the error again..

 

sounds good. BTW when i did a search for files i found the user.exe file, is this something that needs to be there and has no connection with my error, i probably am not even asking the right question

 

Yes, it needs to be there.

 

Thankyou. One more thing, i recently installed Norton Antivirus 2003 on my system, can you also recommend a good firewall software, i currently use DSL.

 

I've been using Freedom, Zero Knowledge makes it. 3.2
Works fine with all Windows.
But it's $29 to buy canadian.
Lots of people here using Zone Alarm, free.
I've had a lot of tech calls where people couldn't surf and Zone Alarm and Norton are the only ones that seemed to cause problems.
I used Zone Alarm and never had a problem..
You'll probably get lots of other advise, then make up your mind.

 

I got this error, could someone assist. thanks.

Sounds like the software for a Palm Pilot??

 

yes it is, any tips on how to fix this.

 

If you have the software disk for it, you could uninstall and reinstall it, that may do the trick..
