Hi Firedancer,

If the following links do not help in any way, perhaps you can include more info on what version you are using, what OS, what was installed/uninstalled prior to the problem starting to occur, etc.

Hopefully, though, one of these will help;

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the quick responce...

I have looked all 5 of your links and none seem to pertain to me or my situation as they all suggest that this error is caused by un installing IE or OE improperly.

I have not un installed either and both are completely updated to 6.0. I also applogize as earlier I was in a rush
and did not post that I am useing WIN98SE IE6.0 SP1 and OE 6. I am not sure what has caused this as I opened OE last night with no problem and have not used the pc until now.

I dont even use IE it's basicly there for updates I currently use Mozilla 1.4 . maybe a scan with TDS3 and NOD32 would be warranted? I have both registerd versions. any more suggestions/ideas?

Strange, yes I think you should do full scans just in case. Also, you might try reinstalling OE on top of itself to see if that addresses it but I would do the scans first.

 

Hi Dan,

I ran scans with both NOD and TDS both came up clean.,
Can I just run the IE6 setup in my windows folder? And if so will I have to re update or will updates remain?
Any recommendations you have on reinstalling over the top would be appreciated.

any thoughts?

Dan,

Went ahead and ran a image restore of HD partition C:
all is well now thanks for your suggestions. I am still puzzeld though as to why this happened... strange to say the very least.

Thanks and regards,

I think this was the article from the MSKB that you needed:
