CPL is Control Panel and INETCPL.CPL is IE\Properties in Control Panel. You have played around without knowing what the consequences will be. Now you found out.

What is wrong with the below picture

"UNINSTALLED ALL of it! So I went to MS got a copy of IE7"

You screwed up by not following the instructions on how to remove IE8 as per instructions and revert back to the previous version of IE.

Bet you did not follow the following which you should have

help.

HELP!!!WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\INETCPL.CPL

I foolishly downloaded IE8...tried it for about a month. Too slow, to
many bugs. UNINSTALLED ALL of it! So I went to MS got a copy of IE7
(through using Firefox) a copy of the regular and 64bit. Installed
64bit. Nothing except this: c:\windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl and on
the next line: Operating system cannot run %1.

Uninstalled again, made sure there were no previous downloads of it.
Downloaded them again from MS. Installed the regular. Nothing--just
same message. So I did a repair using my Windows XP Pro disk (64 bit).
Loaded "that" IE which is I think IE6. It WORKED! So then I got rid of
ALL IE7's. Went back downloaded a fresh copy. Installed it...tried
it...YAY it work! Used it for a few hours...then.... like a DumDum, I
allowed it to perform updates (you know the security patches and stuff)
BIG NO NO!!!

Now it doesn't work AGAIN!!! ARGH!!! Getting the same message.

I have been all over hill and dale trying to see if anyone has even
gotten this before. But so far cannot find. I love how Microsoft does
these things...then WE have ti fix their MESS!!! Oh yeah...and if you
TRUST them to...they have the nerve to charge you for SUPPORT.

If not for FIREFOX I would never have gotten this far.

Any help out there?????
