IE 7 problems

[bostonblakie]

Clear DayOn 10/22 I was prompted by MS Updates to DL new version of IE 7. It
was to replace the Beta, already installed. It did not go smoothly. My PC is
now running on fumes as I cannot access the Internet via IE 7 which is
somehow being blocked from functioning properly. I am using a circa 2002
Dell Dimension 4400, 40GB hard drive with 512RAM. Had been running a little
slow but was otherwise serviceable. Now every time I try using IE I get the
generic error message & report it to MS. On start up or when trying to get
to my AOL I get a small window with a yellow triangle containing (!) and the
word "topic". Also get stuff like (HTTP ERROR 500-INTERNAL SERVER ERROR) and
(Windows cannot find....) followed by what looks like some kind of registry
address. Looks like the only thing still working net wise is Outlook Express
(can't do Internet file attachments).

I am an intermediate at best on this stuff but for the first time I'm at a
loss as I have been unable to resolve any of this on my own.

Is there anything I can do or is it time for Rent-a-Geek?
