If you perform a "Reinstall or Repair of Internet Explorer" in Win XP...Link:

Or

"Perform an In-Place Upgrade (Reinstallation) of XP "

....will you have to reinstall your drivers, i.e. video, sound, printer, scanner, etc.?

 

In general the repair install you did takes all OS files and drivers back to the originals, so yes you would have to reinstall everything that was over written.

 

Repairing or reinstalling IE changes none of those things and keeps your Favorites.

 

I haven't done either yet, I was inquiring before I do it.
