Go to Start > Set Program Access and Defaults and set IE
as your default browser.

First, see if there is any option in Advanced Browser for reverting the default browser back to Internet Explorer. (MyIE2 has a Undo feature). See: http://www.advancedbrowser.com

If nothing helps, apply this registry fix:

If running XP SP1, you may try this as well:
Type the command "shmgrate.exe OCInstallReinstallIE" in the RUN box. Reboot and see if the problem is solved.
