How do you connect to the internet (when using FF) Broadband/Dial Up/Via a router?

What error (if any) do you get when trying to use IE7?

 

my internet connection is broadband speedtoutch connection

 

By Speedtouch I'm assuming ADSL, ie broadband over copper phoneline.

And any error when starting IE7?

 

no error msg I click on IE7 icon to start the icon flickers and thats it

is there any other way to uninstall IE7 other than add/remove

 

Ok, confirm a few things for me...

You are using ADSL Yes/No?
Firefox works ok on the same system and same setup (eg not dual booting) Yes/No?
What model is your Speedtouch Modem?
Who is your ISP?
Reinstalling IE7 makes no difference Yes/No?
What Registry fixes did you try?
Did you undo those registry fixes Yes/No?

 

[1] yes
[2] yes
[3] yes no reboot
[4]SpeedTouch USB/330 ADSL modem
[5] pipex
[6] no
[7] Regfix 6
[8] XPmedic
[9] Regcure 1.5.11
[10] yes

 

Ok, please feel free to supply additional information

What happened when you tried to reinstall IE7? Have you tried IE8?

What did you do with Regfix 6, XPmedic and Regcure 1.5.11 and how did you undo it?

This is a software problem, can you think of anything that you may have done to cause this?

Did IE7 ever work, if so what happened between it working and not. If it wasn't that long ago can you still use a restore point to that time?

 

started to have problems after I installed IE8 pc freez hang and had to reboot so I uninstalled IE8
to undo regfix's I did restore a few times still no good I can only restore to 19th dec I installed IE8 a week before thet
Yes IE7 worked ok I just taught I would update

 

ok, temporarly reinstall IE8 and let us know if the problem still exists with that.

Do you have your XP Home CD available (not for a reinstall only a repair)?

 

I will re install IE8 and see what happens and I have CD I try to use it to repair but wants administrators password I put in my password that i start windows with and it says not
recognized

 

Sorry i enter password from command prompt

 

Thanks m8 I will try it right new just got out of bed been up all night

 

Hi I did the repair option instead of repairing xp it installed a copy over the one I alredy had installed and and now I couldn't login I had to format and reinstall XP home again and now I have 30 days to actavate this copy of xp which is a problem because my activation codes and ID was on the old copy and anr I tryed a recovery program with no luck any ideas thanks

the console repair is not a good idea if you don't have actavation keys

 

If you have internet then activation should be easy particulary since you haven't changed any hardware

What problems do you have with activation?

 

no I haven't changed anything I keep getting a balloon msg saying I have 30 days to activate this copy of windows I lost all my software I'm trying to recover some of it but with no luck

I'm using R-Studio to recover

 

What happens when you click on the balloon?
