Repairing IE6
Trying to use chkdsk /sfc /scannow I insert the XPHome
disc when requested. However the program continues to ask for the disc again and again and the program eventually freezes. What can I do to run it fully? Jim. |

Repairing IE6
What problem are you having with IE 6? Please be as specific as you can,
and don't forget to say what version of Windows you have (including the service pack.) --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Jim Cladingboel wrote: Trying to use chkdsk /sfc /scannow I insert the XPHome disc when requested.

Assuming you've applied any Windows updates... the files on your CD will be older than the ones on your machine and you will probably just make things worse |

Repairing IE6
Would you consider using IE7? It works fine in XP with SP2/3 and might
solve whatever problem you have. ____________________ Ian Windows 7 Forums - http://www.w7forums.com On Jan 28, 5:37*am, "Jim Cladingboel" wrote: Trying to use chkdsk /sfc /scannow I insert the XPHome disc when requested. *However the program continues to ask for the disc again and again and the program eventually freezes. *What can I do to run it fully?

Repairing IE6
When I log on to the Net, my address bar is left blank, my
home page URL doesn't appear. I use the down arrow to display and click that URL and eventually that page loads. However, before I get the page to load, clicking on Tools produces a very abbreviated menu. I can still click on Internet Options to confim my Hosts file hadn't been changed - which it hasn't. However once I am connected, the Tools menu opens fully, as it should. I've also considered the possibility of a virus, but Spybot S&D Adaware, Malwarebytes and a McAfee Alert search can find no problems. I saw SuperAntiSpyware recommended elsewhere in this NG and have downloaded that to try. IE7 *always* corrupts my emails forcing me to revert to IE6. I take philo's point about old files on my CD. I have an XP Home/SP2 CD and installed SP3 recently. I have tried the FixIE tool, which worked once only. I haven't tried IE7 since I installed SP3, so will try this and report back, meantime I'm open to any other ideas. Many thanks to all who have responded, Jim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leonard Grey" Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 3:48 PM Subject: Repairing IE6 What problem are you having with IE 6?

Repairing IE6
Delighted to advise that unlike my previous three attempts
IE7 installed without corrupting my email and news accounts. SP3 must have made the difference. SuperAntiSpyware only found eleven low risk items, so I guess my PC is virus-free. Thanks again, Jim.
