I recently installed XP Pro as an upgrade from Windows98. Since then I have
not been able to open IE or My Computer unless I am in safemode and log on as
an administrator. When I am not in safe mode and I click on the IE icon my
computer freezes for a few seconds and Dr. Watson's Post Morten Debugger
appears saying that the programs needs to shut down. In administrator mode,
an IE window opens however it seems that I do not have a network connection.
I know that my broadband connection works since I am able to log on to my
messenger however I cannot open a IE window. I have already installed SP2. I
also cannot run scannow and repair install did no good. Can anyone help me
with my problem?
 
Boot to xp cd,select R for repair,at info screen,press enter key for password,
then type:CHKDSK C: /R When its thru type:EXIT Let xp restart,in xp,go to
run,type:cmd In cmd type:Sfc /Scannow REVERT Then type:EXIT Restart
computer,in xp,retype:Sfc /Scannow W/o the REVERT.After all,chk with
windows update,IE has a few.
 
Thanks for your help but I was not able type CHKDSK C: /R on the infor screen
since I was only able to type one letter, however, after the repair install
scannow seemed to work. Even after running scannow my problems still
persists, do you have any more ideas?
