WinXP script error?

[John P.]

Hi,

I think there was a memory leak issue within IE7 on a WinXP SP2 system and
browsed several forums on the net and came upon one idea to install the
"Windows Script 5.6 for Windows XP and Windows 2000", namely the
"WindowsXP-Windows2000-Script56-KB917344-x86-enu.exe" file -

After I installed/restarted I can't browse some sites, windows update
doesn't work, system restore opens to a blank/empty page (from safe mode as
well)...
I've installed Windows Script 5.7 for WinXP then uninstalled it, then
reinstalled IE7 for SP2 and still have the same issue.

Appreciate any help on how to resolve this issue or how to restore it
without having to reinstall everything from scratch.

Thanks,
John P.

Click Start, Run, type SFC /SCANNOW, click OK. If any files are damaged
or missing, they'll be replaced. You may need to reboot afterwards so
damaged files will be replaced.
