SP2 Screwed up IE cookie handling and Security options

[Guest]

I've had a fit trying to fix the results of SP2 to XP Home edition. We cannot
accept any cookies and now cannot get to many sites. Also in control panels
under the new security shield I have no options from which to choose
settings. Firewall works though. I also cannot run uninstaller now.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to repair, who to talk to or anything I
can do? Mydaughter has an online class tuesday morning that requires a
working IE 5.5 or higher but must accept cookies.

Thanks very much!
