I have been at this one for several weeks. IE6 will not
open - the usual "IE needs to close " message. The detail
in the error message lists msrating.dll as one of the
problems. Any ideas anyone?

As you don't mention which version of WIndows you have, I will have to go
with a general suggestion at this time:

Try the following and see if it helps:

Multiple Error Messages After Installing Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...port/kb/articles/q179/6/36.asp&NoWebContent=1

Windows 95/98:

SYMPTOMS

An error occurred loading "C:\Windows\System\mlang.dll". The file may not
have been installed or it has been corrupted.

Unable to call the function "DllInstall" in the file
"C:\Windows\System\comctl32.dll" because that function does not exist or is
not exported.

CAPI: The install program could not open signature file

Unable to find the function "DllRegisterServer" in the file
"C:\Windows\System\wintrust.dll".

Error loading IEDKCS32.DLL. The specified module could not be found.

Unable to install Java packages from C:\Windows\Java\classes\xmldso.cab.
Unspecified error.

Error registering the OCX C:\Windows\System\webcheck.dll

Internet Explorer is not currently your default browser. Would you like to
make it your default browser

CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Winhlp32.exe file is not present in the
%SystemRoot%\System32 folder in Windows NT or in the Windows folder in
Windows 95/98.

RESOLUTION:
Windows 95/98
Extract a new copy of the Winhlp32.exe file from your original Windows 95/98
disks or CD-ROM to the Windows folder. For information about using the
Extract tool, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:

or............
