In just about any application, go to Help, About. The version will be
listed.

What is the exact error message you see?

thank you!

Let me just add that Bruce's suggestion is not specific to IE, but will work
with almot every program.

Whether you need to "correct" anything depends on what you need to do - why
you are running chkdsk.

chkdsk has several parameters, which determine how it runs. If you open a
command prompt (start, run, cmd) and type "chkdsk /?", you'll get a listing
of the parameters and what they do.

The F parameter tells chkdsk to actually try to fix problems it finds. If
you don't specify it, it runs in "read only" mode, which means that it looks
at the disk and tells you about it - but doesn't try to fix anything.

My computer and control panel are empty with no icons...my documents and
mypictures show image of folder, not my images; can't open files by

This probably won't have anything to do with IE, and chkdsk probably won't
fix it either. It may be a permissions issue.

Two of the things you can try are running system restore to set the system
back to a date when the problem didn't occur (you may need to do this in
safe mode) or, creating a new account.

Log onto the Administator account (in XP Home, you'll have to reboot to Safe
Mode, and just press enter for the password), and create a new user account
of administrator level, then reboot and log into it. If that one works, it
may be fastest to just migrate your files and settings to that account.
