Re: IE7 & registry problems

Hi again,

I will try again by uninstalling it as you suggest and then trying the
recovery console to detect any errors and see how I get on.

I am reluctant to do a fresh install of XP as this is so time consuming but
I may be left with no option.

I will let you know how I get on, thanks for the advise.

registry fixers and dll fixers can do more harm than good at times.

I'd start at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/917964

uninstall IE7 and reboot TWICE
then go through the steps to repair XP

get XP running, etc. before reinstalling IE7.

If it were me and I had a computer in this state, I'd reformat and
start with a clean bare metal fresh install of the OS.

None of them found anything, it was very clean.
This is a business system behind a very strong firewall, we have a very
strict anti virus proceedure therefore I can only assume some corruption has
occured from user interaction maybe.

I have been looking at a users XP machine as she is reporting very slow
internet speeds, most of the time the page will not load and times her out.

After trying numerous fixes, CCleaner, Spybot scan, full anti-virus scan,
registry clean up and scan disk, the problem is just as bad.

I tried installing Firefox and the same problems occur. I have also ran a
IE7 dll fixer, no fix. I have then uninstalled IE7 and reinstalled it, to
find the same problems.

I re-ran the IE7 and got the following errors:

DllUnregisterServer entry point
DllUnregisterServer in shdocvw.dll failed 0x8004005
DllUnregisterServer in oleaut.dll failed 0x8004005

Has anyone got any ideas?
