Oh Really? ;)

What OS? The proper answer is an IE Repair but most XP users can't
do that and for some unknown reason it is limited to a poor subset of the
ones necessary for completeness anyway.

Alternatively see KB831429 Method 1 or just start with: Run...
(e.g. press Win-R and enter:)

    regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll

Note that an IE Repair would force the repair phase to be done while
the system was relatively quiesced during a boot. So it would make
sense to as much as possible try to reduce the dependencies on
those modules before trying to re-register them, e.g by closing or
stopping unnecessary tasks.

Here is how you can generate a list of such dependencies in an XP Pro
command window:

    tasklist /fi "MODULES eq shdocvw.dll"

Good luck
