Trouble getting into email and using logins on sites

[RandomGuy2009]

Hi

Recently my computer was infected with a virus. So I formatted my drive and loaded on an older version of Windows XP (Pre SP2). It works for the most part however I get an error message when I try to get into my hotmail. also when I try to login on to certain sites I have joined the the internet freezes or won't go to the sign in page.

Does anyone know how I can fix this

I am using Internet Explorer 6. Tried loading on IE 7 but I get an error saying it is incompatible with my version of windows.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Have you re-installed SP2 yet ? ?
