Thanks for the reply. I am running IE6 and I am not sure which repair tool you are referencing. I have tried the two tools mention in the browser threads. I subscrided to pctools but I have not received the Unlock code. I am not sure it is only a browser problem but I am sure something is amiss in the registry. I reinstall the browser and the trouble did not clear
 
I ran the Browser repair program and got the following:

Internet Explorer 6 cannot be repaired due to the followinf error:

An error occurred calling
Dllinstall in "C:\WINNT\system32\shdocvw.dll". (HRESULT=80070005)
 
Hmmm...try unregistering\re-registering the .dll file called then run the Repair again.
