re: IE7 pre-release.

Does that mean that you downloaded IE7 beta?
no

Open IE | Help | About Internet Explorer |
can't!

What version do you see? Version: 6.0 something or do you see 7 something?
should be 6.


No it was 3 updates in the normal update section.
as for about, that's no longer accessible either. it stops short of loading
anything.
It's now popping itself up when the machine boots to a 1/4 size page. which is
what also happened using the search at m$. it closed all windows, and switched
to a 1/4 size window with the search results. but that's no longer accessible
either.

I just re-installed SP2 hoping that would fix things, but it didn't.

It can no longer access any web site. It just opens with a blank address bar,
and half the icons on the top bar.

options , about, contents, online support, send feedback, is out of order
tools, Internet options, windows update, synchronize, search are out of order.

can't find a page gives me a red x error window and acknowledging closes the
window.

kb912945, kb912475, and kb904942. This is the 3 items recently installed. can't
give you anymore info as this is all the info I have in the add/remove section.
all 3 added on the 12th, 5 added today on the 14th.
These are the items that mentioned something about ie7 pre-release.
Wonder if adding the ie7 beta might not be a good idea since everything
connected with IE6 seems to have gone bad. Hmmm. can't access the web, so can't
get ie7.

the restore section is totally fried. can't access the settings, just a blank
screen.

explorer doesn't seem to be having any troubles.

I suspect only reason this works is that it's Forte Agent, and not OE.

Most other programs seem unaffected also.
