internet explorer

[steve]

how come when ever i try and use internet explorer it
either wont work or it take 2 or 3 tries before it will
or when it does work within a very short time it totally
locks my computer up and freezes..... i got so sick of it
i changed my browser to avant which cross fingers had
worked without major problems.. but i dont have any
choice when i wish to get my hotmail e mail msn
automatically uses internet explorer as the browser to
get my mail and it sucks...... any advice or comments are
most welcome... hope im not the only one who thinks this
product sucks

Try start-run-type sfc /scannow and that will repair IE and Outlook Express. Be sure to leave a space between the c and the /. Hope it works.
