262853 2004-08-18 05:56:00 Hi,

looks like my IE has serious issues. I installed the Sun JVM and since then Java won't work through either that or the Microsoft VM. Long story...

BUT, back in the day you were able to run a repair on IE. Now I can't seem to do the same. This is running XP Home ed.

So if I have catastrophic browser issues, are my only options to rebuild my PC or use another browser???

Will XP SP2 help at all?

Thanks,

Brendan

262854 2004-08-18 05:59:00 how about uninstalling it then installing it again???? Patrick 2003 (277)
262855 2004-08-18 06:27:00 Does it give you the option to roll it back to an earlier version? If so, then apply the latest version over the top to try and fix it .

Otherwise ( . mozilla . org/download . html" target="_blank">www . mozilla . org)

262856 2004-08-18 06:28:00 Unless you upgrade IE to a higher version, the repair option is not available under Add/Remove. Seeing as XP ships with IE6, your only choice is to reinstall it or to try and repair it with the system file checker "sfc /scannow". You can find information here (www.dougknox.com) and here (support.microsoft.com). Jen C (20)

262858 2004-08-20 02:59:00 Not repair as such, you can only "patch it up" Microsoft have been trying for years apparently without success yet

Sorry, couldn't resist that ;)
