IE 5.5 issues & urlmon.dll issues (WME)

[Hmmm_40]

When I start IE 5.5 I get an error that says explorer has caused an error with urlmon.dll and will shut down. The funny thing is I can use a different program (ie virus update program) and get access to the internet without any problems. But if I try to launch IE I get the error. I've tried to update to 6.o but I get errors saying that the components won't update. Tried to restore but I don't have any restore points. Is this a spyware or adware issue? Used Spy Sweeper but still have the issue. Help! and thanks

Try choice 2 & repair IE .

Here is how to do it . Open Control Panel , Add / Remove , click on Microsoft Internet Explorer , then click on add / remove down the bottom . This opens a window with 3 choices .

Choice 1. Add , insert your IE5.1+ install program & you can find other items you may not have installed 1st time .

Choice 2. Repair , fixes problems that may crop up with IE5.1+ / Outlook Express

Choice 3. Restore . If unfixable , removes IE5.1+ & goes back to the previous version ,
now if you want to you can reinstall IE5.1 or a later version or another browser altogether .

No Microsoft Internet Explorer in Control Panel !
