Can bring explorer up for half a second and then it shuts itself

[Guest]

Hello- wondering if anyone can lead me in the right direction. On my pc
(windows xp) whenever I try and bring up my internet explorer (6) you can see
that it comes up and connects and then it immediately shuts itself down.
I had just recently loaded up explorer 7 but the same thing was happening.
With explorer 7 though, I was able to open explorer without ad-ons and it
would work.
I originally thought I had done something wrong, so I un-installed 7 and am
now back to 6 which won't work at all.
Any idea what's going on?
Cheers-

Hi Kirsty,
IE7 left behind undesirable KEY try to delete it and see if the IE6 will
come to life.
Open the RUN Command and type in : regedit.exe or regedit32.exe and Press OK.
On the Registory Editor locate this KEY: (Courtesy of MVP Ramesh)
HKEY_Classes_Root\ClsiD\{c90250f3 - 4d7d - 4991 - 9b69 - ac5c5bc1c2ae6}
Delete this Key it left by IE7 and the system still reading it.
Close the Editor and Reboot your computer and try the IE6.
Also try to RUN the command: sfc /scannow and wait for it to finish checking
your system.
HTH
Please let us know.
Regards,
nass

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

Thanks for the reply- I had rec'd another suggestion stating to delet my
Yahoo or Google toolbars. I did this and this actually solved my problem.
Thanks!
