After a likely browser-hijack - a problem which is by now completely solved (the
computer is fully clean!) I cannot any longer activate my Windows XP Home, SP2-Internet
Explorer browser from the short-cut placed on the Desktop. Neither can the respective
"exe-file" in the File Manager open the IE. However, which seems very strange, I
can enter the IE when activating f.inst. any link to a webpage, sent to me by f.inst.
an e-mail. In all instances the browser-interface opens up only in a fraction of
a second and the closes down again.
I have numerous times been trying to uninstall IE amongst the Win's components, reboot,
and reinstall IE, but the problem persists. Moreover, the problem seems difficult
to handle because IE is part of also the new Win SP2, thus when I am trying to download
the IE SP1, I am logically given to understand that the program is already on my
computer. The same is the result when I try to redownload the Win SP2. Again the
initial Windows-scanning says that I already h a v e the SP2 on my computer and I
am not given a chance to redownload it. Furthermore I have also tried to run a "sfc
/scannow", but with the same negative result! Likewise I have tried the search-function
to find the "ie.inf file" in the Windows\inf folder in order to have it reinstalled
- no effect whatsoever...
Indeed I would be most grateful for any advice which could effectively solve the
problem of IE. Thanks, Oeksen37+
