[pchelpers] Re: IE 5 doesn't open properly

Hi John

Thanks for the reply. As I understand things - correct me if I'm wrong -
the registry is backed-up everytime you boot up. If this is the case,
then this wouldn't help as the backup would be holding the faulty file
too.

I did run SFC as you suggested and a number of files were corrupt and I
replaced them via SFC and my Win 98SE disk.

However, IE still keeps on attempting to open but closes down
repeatedly.

Where to from here?

Eric
