i recently installed xp pro. during installation i had to disable the ACPI
by pressing F7. this then allowed me to install after i tried it twice. i
then was trying to update to xp service pack 2. that is when i noticed my
ie6 and oe didn't work. ie6 doesn't connect to the internet it keeps
displaying the 'Page cannot be displayed' but i'm running mozilla and that
works. i tried uninstalling ie6 and that didn't work. i then tried the
suggestions from article 318378. This seemed to work but when i rebooted it
said did i want to keep the settings for ie6 and oe and i said yes because i
need the emails on my oe. (is there a way to find them and my address book
to save them to install later if i get oe working again?) then i tried to
download and install from microsoft and it starts to work but then it gets to
the part where it is looking for sites to download from and it says something
is wrong with my proxy settings. so i guess i feel stuck as to what to do
next.

as for the calculator when i try to open it it says the
c:windows\system32\csrss.exe application cannot be run in win32 mode

thanks for any help
