Beginner needs to confirm with expert that I have to Recover Hard Drive

Try this.

1. Download IEFix.zip and run it.
2. Click the Apply button.
3. You'll be prompted for the Operating System CD or the Service Pack Files location.
 
 
If you don't have the Windows installation CD, and if the installation source files are not present in the hard disk, you may click Cancel when you see a dialog box pop up type (or copy/paste) this file path:

Code: [Select]

c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

Or

Code: [Select]

C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles
IEFix will continue with DLL registration part.

Oh yeah!, you're good!, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh!    


Question:

Do I click "cancel" or type the URL?

OR    Do I click cancel and type the URL?

[evilfantasy]

I haven't ran that in a while so I might be a little off. Whenever you get the dialog box then type in the file location then click OK.

Thanks, here goes.

Well that gave me a message that it wasn't supported by IE7.   So I took a break and will get back with you tomorrow to see if you have any more ideas and I will ask around at work to see if I can borrow a CD for Windows XP.

You have been so helpful.  Have a good night.

Hello,  I was wondering about the IEFix.exe because I haven't been able to ask anyone at work about a CD.  If the IEFix doesn't support IE 7 then could I download an older version of Internet Explorer, run the IEFix and have  the same effect?

[evilfantasy]

You can uninstall IE7 and it will revert to IE6 automatically.

[nhchap]

It will??     Who'd thought?  So if I were to do that... uninstall my IE 7 then I  would automatically have IE 6 on my machine and I could run the IEFix.exe again to see what happens?

Sounds like a plan. Can't guarantee it will work but it's worth a try.
