Thanks for the help. I do not have a restore point. As far as trying to
uninstall, I only unchecked Internet Explorer in the Windows Components of
the Add\Remove Porgrams (I can't imagine MS would allow this, if it created
problems with XP).
The sfc command yeilded now improvement. This is my laptop, but I'm not sure
why I should request the XP CD...to allow the chance to run a repair?
It's a strange problem. Some sites, it won't open. Others open fine...but
for hotmail...I can't type in the login area...and I can get into Yahoo, but
can't type into the login area. The biggest issue is that my Turbo Tax fails
to install the State version, since it's failing to launch IE. And the fact
that the version does not show is bizarre. Any further ideas would be greatly
appreciated. I scanned the hard-drive for errors, scan regularly with
Antivirus and Spyware. It's hard to believe this is so difficult to repair.
Thx. for the help.
