It's telling me I need IE to run these programs.

Rats! Do you have the original XP disk? If you do try the following, try Method 1 first, if it doesn't work then try Method 2
Method 1: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x Repair for Windows XP

* From the Start menu, select Run.
* In the Open field, type sfc /scannow (Note: There is a space between sfc and /scannow)
* Select the OK button.
* Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process.
* Reboot the computer when System File Checker completes.

Method 2: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x Repair for Windows XP

* From the Start menu, select Search, select All Files and Folders.
* Select More Advanced Options and place a checkmark beside Search Hidden Files and Folders option.
* Ensure that Search System Folders and Search Subfolders are also checked.
* In the All or Part of the File Name box, type ie.inf
* In the Look In drop-down menu, select C: or the letter of the hard drive that contains the Windows folder.
* Click the Search button.
* In the search results pane, find the ie.inf file located in Windows\Inf folder.
* Right click the ie.inf file and click Install on the context menu.
* Reboot the computer

If you DON'T have the disk then try this;

click on start>run>type in cmd>enter
then type in the following(one at a time)


regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 shell32.dll
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

I have spent the evening tearing up my residence looking for that disk. If I have it or ever had it, I certainly don't know where it is now. I could not find it.

I typed in the six entries as you instructed. After each entry there was a note saying it had succeeded. I'm going to take that as a good sign.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

I still don't have access to IE.

[jholland1964]

I honestly don't know if this will work or not.....Click Download button on this link.

Download IE 6

[vancek]

It didn't work. It told me that it was downloaded. After it rebooted, I got the same message when I clicked on IE as before. I tried to download it again, but it errored saying a new version of IE had been detected on this machine.

[jholland1964]

Have you done a search on the machine for iexplore.exe? Start, Search, Files and Folders...search on the hard drive.
Do you have ANY disks that came with the computer?
We have run into what I was afraid we were going to run into on a totally non-updated and extremely infected machine...that is the probably damage of much needed files.
But as it stands now, without these disks you couldn't even do a reformat if you wanted because you need those disks.
Give me all the info on the computer...make, model etc. And keep looking for those disks. You DO need them

[vancek]

The computer is a Compaq Presario SR1020NX.

There is a IExpore.exe in C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download...... It says the date modified was 08/04/04.

If I can't find the disks, how expensive does this get?
