ok ... this is what I have done, I created a .bat file with the following
information, it re-registered .dll's and it corrected the problem. now it
works like a charm.
the info below was copied and saved as a .bat on the desktop and executed,
it re-registered all dll's below and IE works now. I did have two errors
(oleaut32.dll) why-i don't know but it continued until completion.
