Robert
I get the feeling I am making this hard for you. If so I apologize and
deeply appreciate your sticking with me. I do not know what a command
window is or
even how to get to one. I know how to use Start\Run.
Here exactly is what happens:
I try your method:
I go to Run and type iexplore /rereg (yes, I am leaving a space after
iexplore)
Internet Explorer opens to "The page cannot be displayed
.................."
Deadend
so I try Jan's Method 1:
I go to Run and type sfc scannow
a dialogue box pops up "Window File Protection - file that are required
for Windows to run properly must be copied to
the dll Cache. Insert your Window XP Profession Service Pack 1 CD now."
I insert CD and it opens to "Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP" This can not
be right as there is no system file checker that Jan mentions. Nor can I
figure out which files must be copied or how to do it or where/what the dll
cache is..
Another deadend.
so I try Jan's Method 2:
I search C: drive for ie.inf file located in the Windows\Infb folder with
advanced options checked. It finds a ie.inf file in Windows\Inf (but none
in Windows\Infb - a search for this Infb folder comes up empty)
Using the file it found I right click and click Install.
A dialogue box pops up as follows "Files Needed - The file IEXPLORE.EXE
on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 CD is needed. Type the path where
the file is located and then click OK." I insert my Windows XP Pro SP1 CD
into my CD ROM drive D: and enter the path D: and click OK and it says
"Setup can not copy
the file IEXPLORE.EXE. Ensure the disk labeled 'Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 1 CD' is
in the drive selected below or provide the location where the file can be
found.
Then I try your suggested path D:\I386 with the same sad result. I try
other paths and it cant find the
file. For the heck of it I even run a search for ie.inf in my D: drive
[ X1APOEM_EN (D:) ]
and it will not even find this file on the CD even with Advanced Options
checked.
Another deadend.
Then I tried the "rundll32.exe................" suggestion with similar
results to the above.
Why is this so hard to repair IE6 or uninstall and reinstall it. Surely
others must have had
similar problems to mine. My computer works perfectly in every way except
for
this script error message when I try to open Norton Internet Security.
Regards,
Ron
