ok I installed SP2...no problems there. Rebooted...no
problems there.. Open IE, window opens for about 3 secs
and closes, Help and support window opens and closes in 3
secs. Can't use windows update cause it uses an IE
window. Used MSN messenger no probs but open an IE window
and it closes both.... I've seen a few ppl in this forum
with close to the same problem but no fix. any ideas
would be greatly appreciated.
