IE Repair with sp2
I am running XP Pro with SP2 and having an issue with End Program
IEXPLORER.EXE on reboot or shutdown. I wanted to try a repair of ie to see if this would correct the problem. The first thing I tried was this: With the xp slipstreamed CD in the cdrom a.. From the Start menu, select Run. b.. In the Open field, type sfc /scannow (Note: There is a space between sfc and /scannow) c.. Select the OK button. d.. Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process. e.. Reboot the computer when System File Checker completes. I got this popup: Files that are required to run properly must be copied to the DLL cache. Insert your XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD now. Note that CD was already in the cdrom and had booted up fine. There are 3 buttons, Retry (fails to work), More Info which says "Possible reasons are 1. You have inserted the wrong CD or 2. CDrom is not working functioning. AS noted above, neither of these can be correct. So now I tried this Method: a.. From the Start menu, select Search, select All Files and Folders. b.. Select More Advanced Options and place a checkmark beside Search Hidden Files and Folders option. c.. Ensure that Search System Folders and Search Subfolders are also checked. d.. In the All or Part of the File Name box, type ie.inf e.. In the Look In drop-down menu, select C: or the letter of the hard drive that contains the Windows folder. f.. Click the Search button. g.. In the search results pane, find the ie.inf file located in Windows\Inf folder. h.. Right click the ie.inf file and click Install on the context menu. i.. Reboot the computer when the file copy process is complete. Again it needed the xp cd which I had in the CD rom. Here is where confusion started. I did a search on the xp cd and NO ie.inf file was found. I did find iexplore.exe and installed it. Is this what I should have done? Only thing I saw on reboot was that I was asked if I wanted IE to be my default browser only browser I use is IE which I answered yes. BTW this did NOT fix the End Program issue. |

My experience with IE 6 (OE 6) problem stem from a corrupted TCP/IP protocol
stack. I usually run "winsockxpfix.exe" which will reset the stack back to Microsoft standard TCP/IP protocol stack. If you have installed any other special protocols (ie: enhanced VPN client protocols not delivered with XP), then you will need to re-install those protocols/programs. "Galen" wrote in message ...

As far as I know nothing new has been added in the last 6 weeks other than
the latest XP updates. Nothing I could do fixed the problem. The question I asked was "Did I use the correct procedure to reinstall IE?". I have fixed the problem for the time being and time will tell if it works. I had a ghost image that I made on 8/1/05, so I put the ghost image back and updated XP, the Antivirus and anything else needing updates. So far, so good as everything is running normal again. I would just like to know what caused the freaking problem to start with LOL. "Yves Leclerc" wrote in message ... My experience with IE 6 (OE 6) problem stem from a corrupted TCP/IP protocol stack.
