Guest jcage@lycos.com Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 I recently ran a registry cleaner on my XPpro system. It boots MUCH faster now but for some reason, Internet Explorer wont run quite right. It appears to run fine for most browsing but when I go to one of the sites our family uses frequently (http://www.americangreetings.com), the card can't be displayed for editing within IE6 I've looked in my control panel for some means of un-installing IE6, tried dumping the cache, etc and even tried downloading a new copy of IE6 and installing over the top of the old one. My question, who out there as experience with 'restoring' Internet Explorer? I've tried running utilities that dump the cache, free up hard drive space and so on - still no luck. On the American Greetings site, IE tries to open up a separate window to show the card but won't do it. I need some sort of repair tool obviously (short of uninstalling and re-installing). Thanks for any help...
Guest Leonard Grey Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Re: Re-Installing Internet Explorer Your problem is that you used a so-called registry cleaner. These are not only unnecessary, they frequently cause problems, as you are unfortunately finding out. Since no one knows exactly what your registry cleaner did it's hard to give specific advice without taking a lucky guess. If your cleaner has an undo function, undo the changes you made. Otherwise, you may get relief if you restore your system to a point in time just before you used your registry cleaner. The problems caused by registry cleaners are well known. Instead, you should follow Smokey the Bear's advice: Don't play with matches. IE 6 cannot be uninstalled from Windows XP. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est jcage@lycos.com wrote: > I recently ran a registry cleaner on my XPpro system.

No, your memory is wrong. No repair option. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com
