Hello,

Is there any way to reinstall Internet Explorer in windows XP? I think my copy of the browser has been corrupted. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try going to Control Panel and choosing Add or Remove Programs. Choose Add/Remove Windows Components. Deselect Internet Explorer and select Next. After IE has been removed go through the formentioned steps only this time reselect IE in the Add/Remove Windows Components. This should work for you.

Or you can try this.

You can reinstall IE in Windows XP by clicking Start, Run and entering the following command:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 c:\windows\inf\ie.inf

You will need to have your XP CD available. If you re-install remember to update it.

Using SFC /Scannow at the command prompt will help in repairing IE.
