Windows XP IEXPLORER

I will start from the begining. I had to do a repair install due to boot
errors and iexe7 was installed during the process. Now I can not get any
updates or upgrade to explore 8. I get the requested loop key not found in
any active activation context. I do not have any other browser installed, nor
can I get one installed due to the same message every time. Can someone give
me solution without a complete reformat?
Thanks,
Tony

If you get SP3 for XP, you will get IE8. Just get the Windows Updates, and
IE8 will show up eventually.

Internet Explorer is installed

Had IE7 and/or IE8 been installed before you did the Repair Install?
