My IE is currupt. how can i repair without re-installing xp?

First I ask which Explorer are you using? 6 or 7?

Go to tools when IE is open. Go to bottom and click Internet options.

Here you are going to delete temporary internet files, cookies and browsing history.

In IE 6 click the box to delete all off line files as well. Hit delete.

In IE 7 hit delete Temp files and let finish. Then hit the settings button next to delete. When that opens hit the 'view objects' button. Delete all files in that file.

Next hit delete cookies.

Next hit delete browsing history.

Next hit OK.

Then exit IE.

Next restart computer and open in safe boot.

Next hit start button and open 'run'.

Type in %temp%, click OK.

Delete all files in that folder or as many as you can.

Sometimes ActiveX gets corrupted and that needs removed.

Again click the start button.

Open search.

When search opens type in the files and folder dialog box:

ocpuc.dll

Search the C: drive.

When search is complete delete all files found or as many as you can.

Restart computer.

Next hold down in this order one at a time to open the task manager: cntrl-alt-delete.

Then click the processes tab.

Look to see what if anything is using the CPU. There should nothing other than the System Idle Process showing using the CPU. If there is see if you can identify it and if it know leave it, if not stop it's process.

Next hit the 'performance tab'.

This will show the actual usage of your CPU. It should be O unless you are having the computer do something. It will register even if you move your mouse or minimize. Then it should return to O.

Next again hit the start button.

Go to Control Panel, hit the 'free up space on your disk' line. Run Disk Check and clean it out.

Next back to the control panel hit the 'rearrange items on your hard to drive' line. HIt the analyze button. This is the disk defragmenter. When results are in, defrag. IT will tell you if this is needed.

Restart computer. IT should be cleaned out unless a virous is at work in there.

Find the version of IE (Hit Remove)

If you have that Bleeping ver 7 remove it only

If you have a olderone only remove that.

Then reinstall it again (After a rebooting)

Mozilla's cool, download it before uninstalling IE

This way you have a back up, keep the moz and IE until you get use to the format. IE 7 blows

You should be able to hit MS updates and get it again.
