If anybody could help me out there, please suggest if there is any way to repair IE 6 without having to reinstall Windows. IE is now using 100 % of the CPU power to open and run and it freezes my PC whilst opening and takes forever to initially load and run. It seems to run normally after it finally opens but sometimes still hangs. I have very fast DSL and still downloading files is a problem now with this messed up IE. I have scanned my hard drive with anti-virus and 4 anti-spyware programs and have found no corruption of my PC. I have run the scannow program and found no problems to indicate a repair of IE is needed from the Windows installation disk. The rest of the programs on my PC seem to be running normally. I have deleted my temporary files for all accounts so they would reinstall upon reboot as that was suggested elsewhere as a possible solution if my temporary files might have been corrupted: this was a possible cause that I found online but this possible solution solved nothing. I have tried to do an in place repair/reinstallation of IE from the installation disk but the process won't complete: this was a solution suggested in a PC troubleshooting book. I have searched endlessly online for helpful articles and have tried everything. Has anyone else had a similar problem and what did you do about this?
I have read that you can't delete and reinstall IE 6 with Windows XP as the program is too tightly wound into XP. That really ticks me off. I downloaded the Firefox browser to try it and I love it but it still can't do everything IE can do. At least Firefox CAN be deleted and reinstalled if I develop any problems with that program !
