reinstall internet explorer via windows components.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN XP CD ROM BEFORE YOU TRY THIS, cause it will ask you to insert it to copy files. Do not try this on win98 95 or ME as it currpts windows for some reason.
Go to add/remove programs,
uncheck the option for IE.
Restart your comp.
Go to same place and recheck it.

it is not IE...... Just after checking No browser anyone makes in the whole world will solve it..... Something about my computer dealing with the connection as I had said before anything internet related is dead.... Turning off the Net and restarting it doesnt help.... could be a faulty modem.... not sure, any help? Cheers, Gunny
