Have XP cd in drive- ( or know where the i386 file is)
Shorter to reinstall IE/OE if thats the only place the problem is. Search for IE.inf on C drive, right click IE.inf-select install and let the filechecker verify/replace files as needed- or if other things wierd- leave CD in drive, click Start>Run> type in SFC /scannow and let filechecker do the whole OS verification.
Outlook Express reboots my PC when I attempt to open the program. I have run Adware,Spybot and can find no viruses. I have downloaded IE patch, tried opening OE with no other programs open but system continues to reboot with each attempt. Any suggestions? Thank you.
