I/E isn't in add/remove program

[Guest]

having trouble with I/E using windows xp sp2 It doesn't show in add/remove
program and in Internet settings/explorer/file versions I have two files
missing IE cont.dll & IEcontlc.dll also IEuinit.inf states that its not
available? I can log on with Peoplepc but clicking on icons for I/E does
nothing but get a message program not responding. trying to download IE 6 and
it tells me I have the latest version. I'd like to repair it, but don't get
the option to repair. I'll be thankful for any help I can get.

Hi,
You probably don't need to reinstall IE. Do you have Weatherbug installed?
If so, uninstall it. Follow the instructions at
http://www.pchell.com/support/weatherbug.shtml

If Weatherbug is not the problem, please reply to this thread. There are
other possibilities.

Good morning Don, I don't have Weatherbug installed I don't even know what it
is.
I had some one on this that was flying around deleting things he didn't
think I needed, so when I was going through this site to see if I could find
similar things had no luck. Peoplepc told me to go to add/ remove and click
repair, well its not even listed there.Sorry it takes so long to reply but I
can't get to this till late at night. It took over an hour to get to where I
could do anything other then to get host could not be found or page can't be
found. PS the restorer was turned off when he did this so I can't get to the
time before it was done.

Hi,
Searches on "iecont.dll" and "iecontlc.dll" tell me that those files are not
needed and may not exist on any normal system. I don't think that's a
problem.

Can you open IE by double-clicking IEXPLORE.EXE (probably at C:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE) If so, you may just have a damaged
shortcut to IE. You can create a new shortcut.

Or, try this, to reregister DLLs used by IE (a "repair" of sorts- works only
with XP SP2)
Start> Run> type in or copy and paste

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" /rereg

(Assuming that's the path to iexplore.exe on your machine.)
[Enter] or OK

Often when IE won't open, it's caused by another program- possibly malware.

You will probably have to reinstall the SP2 update after a repair.

Hope this helps,
