But seriously, double-check the shortcut you're using to open IE, or find iexplore.exe and open that.

1261869 2012-02-28 02:47:00 Did you do a clean install or install over XP?? Looks like you installed over XP, or something on your XP install cd is stuffed / your file associations have been screwed somehow Speedy Gonzales (78)
1261870 2012-02-28 03:32:00 I was using a slipstreamed SP3 with IE7 CD for the clean install. The problem should be with the IE7 which I remember used to cause problem. Dug out my old collections and found a IE-runonce.reg registry patch, ran it and got back my IE. :) bk T (215)
1261871 2012-02-28 03:44:00 Ah ha that explains it. There is an addon / update ( so once you slipstream it with Nlite, and this (integrator.siginetsoftware.com) ) everything gets installed. Inc IE8, WMP 11, and all the .Net files. Once, you create / burn the ISO. Then boot from it. A lot easier than installing everything separately after you install XP. Speedy Gonzales (78)
