Hi does anyone know how to force a reinstal of IE when things go badly wrong, I have a mchine that will not launch IE and there is no mention of IE in the add/remove proggy list, so no repair option...
This also seems to be cuasing the machine to take 5-10 mins to boot up.. and well I knwo a reformat is in the offing, just wondered if anyone knew of a magical fix...
Internet Explorer 6 is the set of core Web browsing technologies in Windows XP. These core technologies have recently been updated as part of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Advanced Security Technologies.
So you may need to get SP2 off, reboot and then load SP2 back on again to try and restore IE.
From the description in the box when you go into add remove programmes/ windows components it only removes access to Internet Explorer. It doesn't seem to remove the software itself.
Try here for some info on removing IE manually though http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378/EN-US/
