I then applied IE6SP1 and found that the system had to recover a previous good registry file to boot the system to E: when I wanted it. Didn't think much about it (but should have!!!) Now here is the rub! Deciding that I could now move fully onto Xp, I reformatted C: and installed Xp there - no problems. I upgraded to XPSP1 - no problems, all worked fine. Then...... I went one step further and upgraded IE6 to IE6SP1 (not from PC World's disk). Problems immediately. I cannot now start the system. I do get the XP logo screen which dies and the system reboots ad infinitum. I believe the IE6SP1 upgrade was corrupt (and should have realised this from the problems I have been experiencing on E:) and so I need to go back to the old IE6. How can I solve my problem? Do I try to load IE6 (or IE6SP1 from PC Worlds cover disk) or should I start from scratch and completely load XP again? As I see it, I need to start from scratch as I cannot get into the system to load IE6 from a non bootable disk. Any comment welcolme? Thanks, Bryan.	Bryan (147)

And before you computer reboots upon booting, is there a flash of a blue kernel error screen, for less than a second?	agent (30)
