I run Windows XP SP2 and IE/OE 6.00.2900.2180 (or at least I did).
This morning, a 3rd-party virus/adware scanner detected and deleted
something (don't know what). System Restore was off, so I can't undo. Now:
1. If I try to access services.msc or any other MMC component, I get the
message,
Microsoft Management Console
MMC will not run with a version of Internet Explorer earlier than Internet
Explorer 5.5.
Because I had previously turned off Automatic Updates and can't now manually
turn it on through services.msc, I can't access Microsoft Update (which might
or might not be able to diagnose and solve my problem). I CAN turn on AU
through the AU Coontrl Panel, but that isn't being recognized by Microsoft
Update.
2. Even stranger (IMO), if I select any text in, e.g., Excel or Word, then
use Ctrl-C or any other method to copy the selected text, I get the message:
Microsoft Office Word [or Excel]
You need Internet Explorer 3.00 or later to use this feature. You can
download the latest version of Internet Explorer from ... microsoft.com.
I re-installed IE 6 SP1 for Win XP SP2. It successfully installed but (it
said) not completely. No change.
I re-installed MMC 3.0. Again no change (no surprise there).
I browsed through the Download Center and found 100's of updates to IE6, but
nothing that seemed relevant.
I want to repair IE 6. I do NOT now want to install IE 7 as it does not work
well with some sites I need to access.
Can you advise? Thanks.
