cholla Posted November 4, 2005 CID Share Posted November 4, 2005 x_6985381: Here are a couple of things to try If they don't work I have another one. Go to Control Panel AddRemove ProgramsInstall|Uninstall here you should find your IE program Mine is Microsoft Internet Explorer SP1 and Internet Tools highlight it click the AddRemove button. This should bring up a window giving you 3 options select Repair Internet Explorer. If that doesn't work try going to MSDOS type cd at the prompt hit enter then type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted November 4, 2005 CID Share Posted November 4, 2005 x_6985381: What OS does your workink PC have? If it 98 to ME go to Control panel in it AddRemove Programs there is a tab "Startup Disk" Select it & select create disk. This should give you a start up disk that will let you get to DOS where you can run the scanreg/restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted November 4, 2005 CID Share Posted November 4, 2005 x_6985381 ; What PC do you have online right now & what is its OS? I got this much information from the MS article if you can get to DOS 1. In Windows 98, boot the computer to the Startup menu and then click Command Prompt Only. 2. Type the following at the prompt: ren c:explorer.exe explorer.old, and then press ENTER. 3. Restart the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 Dude, your OS is messed. Upgrade, reinstall, or continue beating your head against the wall. Your choice, but I'd go with upgrading to, let's see, MAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
