1 Copy your C:\ Windows\Application Data folder to another location on your Hardrive.
2 Copy your C:\ Windows Favourites folder to another location on your Hardrive
3 Download the freeware utility Ieradicator (less than 50KB download )
4 Run install this utility will COMPLETELY remove all traces of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express ( I prefer to remove both as quite often the root of the problem lies in IE )
5 Install the newest version of Internet Explorer and Outlook express.
6 Copy your favourites back
7 Import your Mail and address book back from your copied location.
8 Done.
