| 667540 | 2008-05-12 09:31:00 | Try downloading IE8 Beta 1 and see if that makes a difference: www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/ie8/default.mspx |

| 667542 | 2008-05-12 22:23:00 | If that doesnt work you may have to reformat, if that svchost error keep on coming up. And remember to install SP1, or 2 after it |

| 667543 | 2008-05-13 02:23:00 | No darnit didn't install. Seems like anything to do with IE brings up that error. Speedy, rather than formatting, could I just repair/re-install Win XP using the Win CD? Rather not go through all the rigmarole of a reformat, reinstalling programmes, etc etc |

| 667544 | 2008-05-13 02:34:00 | You could try. If that doesnt work, you may have to do a clean install. Might be better if you slipstream IE 7 (and SP3) if you want to use both. Thats if your system isnt an AMD, or a system that isnt affected by SP3. |

| 667545 | 2008-05-13 02:53:00 | How do I slipstream IE 7 and Sp3? Do you mean download them from MS update website? Tried that and it hung, although did not affect the PC | KiwiPrius (11514) | ||
| 667546 | 2008-05-13 02:53:00 | Sorry, meant to add that I do have an AMD system. | KiwiPrius (11514) | ||
| 667547 | 2008-05-13 03:00:00 | Hmm it may or may not crash/reboot then, with your system If you install SP3. You'll need something Nlite (http://www.nliteos.com/) to slipstream SP3 and IE 7. But you'll have to install .Net framework 2 before it'll install / work And you'll need SP3 / the original XP cd, and a cd burner / blank cd's, as this program (once you add whatever) creates an ISO. Then you'll need a program that can burn ISO's to cd. It'll create a new cd (with XP, IE 7, and SP3 if you decide to add it). Altho, since youve got XP Pro, if you were near Auckland, I could burn the ISO I created with SP3 and IE 7. And you could probably use your XP key to install it |
