You probably have some corrupted files or corrupted
registry. Try repair using the Win2K CD. You will need to
change the booting order of your computer. When you start
up your computer, press the Delete key (sometimes it is F2
or F5) and a BIOS screen will appear. There you will be
able to change the booting sequence to CDROM being first.
Save and reboot. Watch closely as "Boot from CDROM" will
come up quickly and allow you no more than 5 seconds
to "Hit the key to Boot from CDROM". When you hit a key it
will boot from the Win2k CD. The CD will load files which
takes a minute or two. Then, choices appear as Install,
Repair etc. Choose Repair. It will ask you for Manual or
Fast. Try the fast one 1st and if that doesn't work try
the 2nd one. 2nd one,,,Reboot with win2k cd select install
it will ask you if you want to try to repair the win2k you
have on the machine select YES....Note: It will NOT
overwrite you data files just put down new OS systems
files.. When it is finished, while rebooting, change the
sequence back to the original one, save and proceed. It
should work. If you are new to this, I suggest that you
jot down on paper what you are doing, so that you can
retrace your steps. If your IE still does not work then
you can reinstall it using the inforamtion from this site
