Can't Open Control Panel or IE6
Hi y'all!
I am at a friend's house and trying to repair her computer. 2 days ago, she found she was unable to open Internet Explorer or Control Panel. I came over and ran Norton's and it found no viruses. I then ran Spy Bot and it found 203 incidences of Spyware which I then deleted. I went into msconfig and unchecked all the entries that had to do with hijacking software, bogus search engines and tool bars, etc. I turned off system restore so it would remove all incidences of that mess that was saved on the computer. I also ran chkdsk /f and it didnt find any disk errors. Her installed executable programs work and she can use Outlook Express and Mirc as far as the internet. But when I right click on START and left click on EXPLORE, Windows Explorer does not open. It doesn't open when I click on the blue e for internet explorer or when I click on Control Panel. (was trying to get to add/remove programs) I thought, perhaps that the icon file was corrupted so I went to start/run and typed in ieexplore.exe and it still wouldnt open. She does not, of course, want to use her restore disk and lose everything. This is a fairly new HP Laptop running Windows XP Home. Any suggestions? Thanks~! Mary |

Everything will work fine if your restart in Safe Mode with Networking. You do this by pressing F8 when starting the computer and then selecting Safe Mode with Networking. Until someone finds a solution to this problem I'm having my friend use Safe Mode.
I'm hoping a reformat and reinstall will not be needed. |
