I've already deleted the uninstall files for IE, therefore, not sure how to
reinstall. My CD will detect that it is the same or new, therefore, will
not re-install it.

I believe I have to go to the Registry somewhere and change the name of the
folder.. to trick the computer into thinking IE is not installed. But I
can't remember where to do this. Any other suggestions as to how I should
go about to do this.

Also, I tried different memory and get the same error message. I do believe
your correct in stating that the IE browser needs to be reinstalled.

Can't say for sure it could be, but I would think though that the
imaging software would give you an error message or somehow or other
inform you that it couldn't copy files because of disk corruption or
other. I mean, it would seem unlikely that the software would copy
broken files. On the other hand if the operating system was broken when
you imaged it, well you will get a broken OS on the new drive.

Thanks, I will do that.
Any thoughts to what I've said about using an image software on a

harddrive

that is known to have issues. Can this corrupt the image?

Try repairing or reinstalling Internet Explorer. There is no guarantee
that it will fix the problem but try to eliminate it as a cause. As for
the error message being mixed up between Internet Explorer and Windows
Explorer, the two programs are tied together like the Gordian Knot.
Windows Explorer cannot run without IE and nowadays a large number of
problems and error with Explorer.exe are actually caused by Internet
Explorer. IE sneezes and Explorer.exe has a heart attack.

This began when I was having issues with a harddrive. The old

was


determined to have a controller issue and I was warned to back

everything up


and change my harddrve out before it failed. I Imaged my system to

DVD.

Then I recovered the Image to a NEW harddrive. I still have the issue.
I'm not sure if the imaging of a bad drive can cause this or not. Ran
scandisk (nortons version to recover cluster issues but did not find

any).


My mermory seems to check out okay duing boot. Not sure how to better

the memory unless I swap it out. I realize it gives this appearance.

Any thoughts on this Issue?
Thanks in advance
