Hi Wigi -)

If none of the previous suggestions have corrected the issue, then there may
be some files that have been changedm, deleted or corrupted from the update.
Thus, I can only recommend that you Repair your IE:

Here's a link that may help..

Can't Repair Windows XP -

It primarily depends on whether they're running XP with SP1 integrated or XP
with SP1 added on.

Start, Run and enter REGEDIT

Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

SourcePath == Should point to the CD drive. Sometimes users change
the letter and XP can't find its files
ServicePackSourcePath == Should be the same as SourcePath if SP1 was
integrated in the install, might be C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles if SP1 was
added later ServicePackCachePath ==
C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\ServicePackCache if SP1 was added later, won't
exist if SP1 was integreated.

Additionally, to use SFC and the XP CD, it must be a retail CD, not a
"recovery" CD. For OEM installs, there should be a copy of the I386
folder on the hard drive. If so, the SourcePath value should point to the
drive/folder its in. Example: C:\ not C:\I386.

or ...............

Use TweakUI to set the installation path to the drive where the CD is
located. XP is looking for the CD at that path and if the path is wrong it
issues that odd error message that you have the wrong CD.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

Jan :)
