IE Printing Berzerk!!

When I print from IE it prints one word for a few characters per page and
generates 20 or more pages of garbage. I updated the driver and in the print
queue I can watch as the number of pages increases from 2 to 60, 70..
whatever it feels like. Ran Ad-Aware, cleared temp files, ect.

My mother-in-law had AOHell on this PC which wouldn't print her e-mail and
generated a scripting error. I promply removed AOL, applied updates, all to
no avail. I resorted to a windows xp repair install and now have the
printing pages propigating out of control. I've tried cleaning the spooler,
reinstalling the new scripting and am stuck.

Please help! I blame AOL... Can this be fixed or is it time for a clean
install?

-Thanks.
 
I have tried removing the print driver, updating the print driver, and
testing with a different printer. All to no avail. :(
 
You may have a corrupt system file. To check this out, go to:
Start>run>type SFC /SCANNOW (space between C and /)>Enter
Have your WindowsXP installation CD handy for it may ask for it
to replace corrupt or missing system files.
SFC=System File Checker
