I have the same problem because I ousted IE due to problems from an attack.
I think it might be easier for me to start from scratch and reinstall ME and later
upgrade to XP, but I do not want to lose my files. Is there not a way I can save
(backup) my important files by jumping my hard drive to another computer if so could
you tell me how it is done, something to do with the master, and slave settings?
