Do a System Restore or at the Boot mrnu, go back to the last good configuration. This should help restore the use of IE. To read Word documents- have you tried the other suggestions ?
I orginally posted to find resources to enable use of WORD on my XP system, where I only have MS Works. Went to Freeware and got the Easy WORD. Everything worked fine, BUT now I cannot open Internet Explorer. I have to use Netscape to do anything on my computer now. Is this common with use of these Freeware applications? I keep getting an error saying that IE had to be closed, and asks if I would like to send a report to MS. Not sure what that is about. I uninstalled the Freeware, but no fix. Any thoughts or solutions? Thanks in advance.
