In a Win Me system IE stoped running all of a sudden.
U would double click the icon but browser window would
not show...
i upgraded IE to version 5.5 first then to 6 sp1 but the
problem remains any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated
thnx all
 
Try checking the Properties of the shortcut to IE. Right click on the icon
and select 'Properties'. Check that it is pointing to IExplore.exe.(In the
folder where you installed the upgrades)
OR
Select the Start\Run menu and enter IExplore, press Ok. You may have
deleted, moved or renamed this program. Did you install IE6 into the
non-default folder \Program Files\Internet Explorer ?
 
the file is in the place it has to be. I can find it, i
can try to open(execute) but it just wont run. I upgraded
after i got the problem its not that i upgraded and then
got the problem, i was hoping the upgrade will fix
something apparently broken
 
Hmmm... Don't know what to make of this. Usually expect some kind of error
message like "Module not found..."

You can try the Internet Explorer repair option.

Select the Start\Run menu option and copy and paste the following into the
run dialog

rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance

Press OK and then select the Repair Internet Explorer option.

OR

Go to your Control Panel and select the Add\Remove Programs applet. Find
Internet Explorer in the list and click the Repair button.
