318378 - How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook
Express in Windows XP

This article describes how to reinstall or repair Internet Explorer 6
and Outlook Express 6 in Windows XP. You may have to do this if you
are having problems with Internet Explorer or Outlook Express because
of damaged files or missing registration...


Hope this helps
 
I had the exact same problem until a few moments ago. The problem resides not with Internet Explorer or XP but with malicious adware and bots. Reinstalling IE and/or XP do not work (as I learned the hard way). You must remove the offending software and (more importantly) the registry entries associated with the software. I successfull used Spybot Search & Destroy (downloadable for free from www.safer-networking.org) and in a few minutes I was back up and running without a hitch.
