Re: IE does not go on the web-page whose address is pasted in

[Crossposted to IE General newsgroup]

Your post's headers tell us that you're running WinXP SP2 right now.

What is the exact (verbatim) error message you're getting?

What problems were you having that you thought a Repair Install might
resolve?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed the post-Repair Install updates?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it and
which may have been reinstall, but invalid, when you did the Repair
Install)?
