when I boot my machine I get an error message that states
internet explorer cannot find active desktop html. this
seems to be affecting application such as "help" when I
do a search for a topic. I've reinstalled xp home with
no change in problem
 
Hi,

This is due to the Mshtml.dll file being missing or damaged, or if the
registry entries for the Mshtml.dll file are missing or damaged.

Either run the latest IE/OE updates listed here under Why does IE/OE crash:

Or....download Version 1173 of mshtml.dllfrom MS here:

After the new version has been installed and you are still having issues, go
to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
