Hi


From the "Run" box try

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\appwiz.cpl

and
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\webvw.dll

and
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\mshtml.dll


If that doesn't work:

You might try to reinstall IE, the article above also tells you how to do that.


See tip 6032 at http://www.jsiinc.com/reghack.htm as well

If this doesn't help, try to reinstall the OS service pack you already have
installed (or install a newer one if possible).


If the problem persists, you'll could do an in-place upgrade of the OS and see
if it helps:

I just wanted to let you know that reinstalling IE did the
trick. Thank you very much...I know where to come if I
have other problems!
