Can anyone advise what's going on and how to fix.

Cheers.

 

what did you do before this started?....download/install something, tweak a setting, etc.


try booting to a command prompt and typing scanreg /restore and picking a day before the problem started.


If that doesnt work then

1) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302591

2) If one doesnt apply, try going to start/run and typing SFC and letting it scan for missing/altered files. You will need your windows cd for this if you dont have your cabs on your harddrive.

3) try to repair IE...start, settings, control panel, add/remove programs, double click IE and select repair.

4) reinstall IE completly

5) reinstall windows on top of itself


How/when did this start?
