I'm in the sam boat. IE worked fine in the morning and
after closing it in the afternoon it flat out refuses to
start. Since the Compaq didn't come with the original XP
discs I copied from my TechNet DVD the IE6.0_SP1 files. I
tried to install and got a message thet the IE on the
computer is newer than the one I was trying to install.
>From another system I downloaded the IESetup program that
downloads IE from the Microsoft site. Got the same
message. Because of Microsofts integration with IE the XP
system can't be updated. I prefer not having to rebuild
the entire OS but unless someone has a solution I guess
I'll have to bite the bullet and rebuild the system.

I've been playing with Linux and using Open Office as a
replacement to MS Office. While its not as refined as
Office and XP, it hasn't even hicuped in th past 6mo. All
the Open Office files I created are compatible w/ MS-
Office and using Mozilla to access the net is easy. One
more problem with XP and I'll scrap the enitre system.
