Ok need help

[lynxbat]

ok I am usually one to fix my own probs with my comp but I am stumped on this one.<br><br>I cannot open internet explorer at all now. I click the link, or the exe and I get about 3-5 secs of busy mouse and then nothing. I have checked my proccesses and no IE ever pops up. But interesting enough if I change my default browser to something else, IE will ask if I want it changed back when I click the shortcut. I have tried /sfc /scannow, installing new IE, running back to a restore point, virus scan, everything within my realm of knowledge on PC. Nothing, no difference same thing. I really don't want to reinstall, so plz someone help.<br><br>Oh and I did search the knowledge base and found nothing similiar <p></p><i></i>

I have run into a similar issue on Rogue's PC, but she was running an old install of Win98. I suggested that she start using the Win2k that was also installed on her machine, and so she has. But I never found a good solution to that problem either. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> You might have to settle for using Netscape, Mozilla, or Opera.<br><br>Of course, if IE truly was separate from Windows, you could just uninstall it and reinstall it, without any effect upon the OS, right?
