Don. Thanks for your help. Just finished doing all that you
suggested, but still no joy... I also tried to run IE6
setup, newest version from MS. Tells me that a "more
recent" version of IE is already in the system! Setup
consequently aborts... Am stuck. If you have any other
suggestions, theyv are MOST welcome.

From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced uncheck
"Enable third party
browser extensions." That should allow IE to open.
Run CWShredder from
http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html
It's been
the most helpful with this problem. CWShredder is only
about 125 KB so it
could be downloaded from another machine onto a floppy disk.
Search for and remove other malware and note the security

You should re-enable browser extensions after the cleanup.

No way to get around this. Reinstalled XP. Tried to
uninstall IE, which I couldn't do because the Connection
Wizard was used by "another application". Something must
have gone into the registry... Tried to clean it up. No
joy. Please help! Thanks.
