Re: IE doesn't work after installing W2K SP4

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

After spending another 2 hours with a different MSN tech today (includng
testing a static IP address - finally), the conclusion from MSN was that my
IE files are corrupt and that once I reinstalled, all would magically work
again. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling from the IE folder on the C
drive - a weird thing - the Internet Explorer is not available in the
Add/Remove programs. Any ideas? Since I can't access the Internet, I can't
download a clean version.
