Help: incomplete icon!

[Bowler]

Seth,

 

It started to remvoe ie7 andthen I had a box come up with

 

Setup cannot copy the file mhhapi.dll.mui.

 

Ensure that the location specified below is correct, or change and insert windows NT service pack uninstall directory in the drive you specify.

 

Then I have two options

C:\windows.0ie7 or A:\

 

Then another box comes up with " do you want to continue without copying this file.I pressed yes and I got the progress bar with the two folders with the paper flying from one to the other. The progress bar has finished, but the folders are still going.

 

It says files deleted with a tick

and it is now copying files. Does this take a long time

[Seth]

Give it a while longer then see if you still have IE7 and can get to internet options.

[Bowler]

ok. will do.

[Bowler]

Still going and ther's no way of stopping it as the back,next and cancel buttons are greyed out.

The progress bar has been in the completed for ages.

[Seth]

Wow. Your IE7 is really messed up.

 

Do a Ctrl-Alt-Del to enter Task Manager. You'll see Iexplore in the processes, and or Internet Uninstall in the Applications tab. End those processes and restart the computer.

[Bowler]

OK. I've done that. Had a bit of trouble getting back here.

 

Still the same. What now

[Seth]

I'm running out of ideas.

 

Try downloading and installing IE7 now.

[Bowler]

Should I update to SP3 as well

[Seth]

I wouldn't just yet.

[Bowler]

If I've got Firefox now, do I need ie7

 

By the way, the internet option icon is still not working

It wasn't going to be long before I suggested giving up on IE and going with FF, as you don't have any more relevant options.

 

With that being said, most techs prefer FF. There may be a rare site that requires IE, but so far I haven't seen any.

[Bowler]

So is your recomendation not to install ie7 and update to sp3?

[Seth]

Go ahead and try to install IE7.

 

As far as SP3 goes, you might want to start a new thread on the subject to hear the various opinions.

[Bowler]

ok will do

I would like to thank every one who helped with this thread. This is a fantastic site, run by fantastic guys.

 

Thankyou all very very much.

You're most welcome.

 

FYI-There is no special IE7 for SP2 or SP3 for that matter. It's all the same IE7.

 

Enjoy:)
