Hello,

Thanks for the response. Yes indeed I have tried. It says after the
system restore that this option cannot be done at the time.

As an update, I've uninstalled and reinstalled me IE. I was put back
to a lower version of IE and found that I'm now able to do windows
system updates (but not much of value there) and that while I was in
IE7, I could browse fine but noticed that I had an awful lot of
redirections on webpages. When IE8 was installed back onto the laptop,
the same webpage, I was given a 404 error and told that the webpage
couldn't be loaded.

As far as messenger is concerned, I have tried multiple attempts and
notice that I've got the same crash message with the window popping up
with little evidence (other than some address.x86.dll) where the address
changed but the .x86.dll remains the same. A google search did not
produce any information. I suspect that the messenger problem is
strongly related back to the IE problem.

In all honesty, if I could wipe both clean (without a format), and
reinstall this would be best.
