I upgraded a Win 98 pc to XP Pro and now the pc is having
some strange problems. The first is that it can't print
HTML documents - no errors or anything, it just locks up
the Internet Explorer window and nothing goes to the
print que. I even tried emailing the page and printing
it from Outlook, but it did pretty much the same thing.
Rebooting didn't help.

Another problem is with the search function in Windows
Explorer. When you select search, the search toolbar
pops up, but none of the text or buttons show up in
Rover's balloon. Perplexing, ain't it?
 
I solved my own problem. Somehow Internet Explorer got
FUBARed during the upgrade. While troubleshooting Norton
Antivirus not being able to run, I found that there was
no version info for Internet Explorer. Downloaded IE6
and ran Win XP critical updates and all is well with the
world.

Even if this doesn't help anyone else out there, I'm a
happy camper. Thanks very much Mr. Bill Gates and your
crew of quasi-useless programmers!
