can't get internet explorer 5.0 results

[Forensic2]

I have windows xp, Had to reload everthing from a carsh.  I have had microsft Picture It 2000 on it before.  Now when I try to load it, it stops when it comes to internet explorer 5.0.  Then another box comes up saying it could not get internet explorer 5.0 results ?

Now I still have the programe file and is still loaded on computer, when the MESH  tec said I would loose everything. Also my Norton 360 can't do a back up. They want me to reboot in safe mod and switch user to Addmin- I try doing that and typeing everything the had and press enter and it kept saying not right code.

I would say I am very good around computers etc. I have a feeling that some files are not on the same path as the C. If that makes any sense. lol  thanks for any help Forensic2

How exactly did you do it? Repair, over the top, or clean install?

[Forensic2]

Thanks for commenting. I got the black screen saying a file was missing or corrupt. MASH computer teck had me try one way and then said your computer really took a hit and to reload from CD back up, and that I would loose everything. But my files on C were still on it.

So I would say clean install. ?  The very first black screen hold for about a minute before going to windows xp. It never did/took that long ?

Windows xp, home edition, version 2002, service pack 2
Computer - MESH - AMD Sempron (tm) Processor - 3300+ - 2.00GHz - 512MB of ram-Physical address extension.   hope this helps.  I do know my way around a computer so if anything you might need info on I'm sure I can find out.

It seems anything I down load from the net, like my drivers and sound card etc did fine. It seems any CD programs that were on here before have a hipcup in trying to install.  thanks again

and to reload from CD back up

What kind of CD was it? I really need to know, how XP was reinstalled.

[Forensic2]

It was on the MESH back up CD, Not a Windows xp CD.  Also I had to reload it on a screen asking what drive C was the only one I had. So I loaded on it and it was suppost to uninstall old windows XP. 

[Broni]

Can you look at that CD, and tell me what it says (exactly)?

[Forensic2]

 Yes,, Give me a minute.. thanks

[Broni]

No problem.

[Forensic2]

got it. you want everything thats on this baby ? 

[Broni]

You may omit fine print..

MESH Computers Recovery CD-ROM ,  WINDOWS XP Home SP2, Version 1.0  warning  not to open untill MESH TECHNICAL support tells you too.

[Broni]

OK, cool. That CD, when run, should restore your your computer to factory settings, like you got it for the first time from the store. Whatever programs were initially preinstalled, should be there.
Now, let's start over. You start your computer, and what is your very first concern?

[Forensic2]

The first black screen, that shows all the info of computer, drives,ports,printer, etc hangs for about a minute before going to windows xp. It never took that long.

and post its log.
I'd like to see, what's running on your computer.

[Broni]

The log is perfectly clean, and I don't see too many startups, so I don't think we're dealing with any software problem.
1 minute is not terribly long for loading Windows. First thing, that comes to my mind is RAM. You could surely use another 512MB stick of RAM, and can I assure you, you'll see serious improvement.

As for programs not showing in START list, It's an easy fix, as long as programs in Program Files are in running conditions. What particular programs are you talking about, and how do you open them?
