Hi all
My motherboard fried and I installed a new setup (motherboard,processor,and ram). When I tried to bootup XP would not allow the boot to happen, kept throwing me back to "your last atempt to boot did not work". I tried booting in safe mode, last known good, normal, and got nowhere. Did a repair install of XP and broke IE7. I found out after that this is a known problem with repair. Problem was I didn't know before I did and even if I had I couldn't uninstall since I couldn't boot up. Is there a way to repair IE7 without having to reformat and reload everything? Would reinstalling IE 7 over itself work? I would like to save my fav's etc if possible since I don't remember everything I have there and most are set up to remember passwords.

Thanks to all for your help

Trying it would not hurt it might reload something that is missing in IE7.

Consider trying Firefox:
Get Firefox

On first launch, select "Import from Internet Explorer". You should hopefully have all of your favourites, etc imported and then you can back it up.

Thanks Ash I'll give that a try. Still need to get ie up and running though so I can use update.

yes, using firefox would be the best decision but I know people who really dont like it and so if you are one of those people then try using firefox just to get a setup for Internet explorer. if I may, I would suggest IE6 instead of IE7 I Believe from my experience that 6 has less problems than 7. tryit and get back to us!

First of all thanks for the help. I setup firefox and imported the favs and everything is there. I then uninstalled ie and reinstalled ie7 and all is up and running. I went back to 7 since it never gave me any serious trouble and will use firefox for most browsing. The big reason I wanted ie back is windows update. Thankfully I have multiple systems so I could get on line, get answers, and download the programs.

Thanks again.
