What specifically are we looking for? I also noticed that the system restore feature is also non functional. Any suggestions or help welcomed as well. Thanks |

Cannot start IE6 after installing XP SP2
Have you tried uninstalling SP2? I haven't found it to be all its cracked up
to be in the LEAST. Another option is to disable all BSOs (Browser Helper Objects). Click Start Run type in "inetcpl.cpl" and hit enter. This opens up the Internet Options window. Click on the Advanced tab and uncheck the box for "Enable Third Party Browser Extensions" under the Browsing section. If you'd like to keep SP2 or can't remove it you can always manually reinstall both System Restore and Internet Explorer. Open up My Computer click Tools Folder Options click on the View tab click the radial button for "Show hidden files and folders" and click OK. Now click Start Search type "ie.inf" as the name of the file you're looking for and hit Search. When it locates ie.inf right-click it and select Install. You'll need to provide your Windows XP CD for it to reload IE. You can do the same for System Restore as well. Instead of searching for "ie.inf" search for "sr.inf".
