IE Prob after cleaning up 2nd chance
 

HI,
I was hit with some nasty stuff (2nd chance, etc...) and went through
cleaning things up so have been deleting some files. Now my IE search
function doesn't want to work. My home page appears but won't load
additional pages from a search or favorites. Every link seems to come up
with a computer error code.
I'm running Windows ME/IE5.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

What AV and Anti spyware progs are you using?

Also why don't you update to IE6? not like it's going to cost you anything.

'deleting some files' !!!---- RESTORE them and you will soon know if
that is the cause. Otherwise reinstal IE

I'm getting a message from ZoneLabs saying Zone Alarm was restricting my
internet access. I had this program for a short time and deleted it - but
continued to get an error message at startup saying the link could not be
found. Some of the files I found and deleted were from ZoneAlarm. I thought
this would complete the deletion of the program.

No websites will come up but I can get into newsgroups/email.

btw... I gave you incorrect info - I am running IE 6.

Thank you for any help!

Have you considered repairing IE6 ? Go to My
Computer>Microsoft IE6, highlight it and select it, and the repair option
should come up. k35454.

Because that is not quite where it is. You need to go to "my computer" then
"control panel", then "add/remove programs". Locate "internet explorer 6 and
internet tools" in the list, then select it, and click the "add/remove"
button. You should then be presented with an option menu, where "repair" is
one of the options.

Thanks, Thor. Found it but it said my IE could not be repaired. Have to
reinstall some components.
