Problem with my Internet Explorer v5.5 on my ME

I have IE5.5 with my ME version. Just recently i have been unable to run IE from the icons that are by default , loaded on my desktop and taskbar. When I press exach one, nothign happens. The only way I can start my IE is bycreating a shortcut to the URL of my homepage.. I have also tried to copy the entire folder for internet explorer from another machine containing the same version of IE as i do. That doesnt appear to work either.

Any ideas as to how i can reload/rebuild or whatever is required, to get my IE workign the way it used to?

You might try the "repair" option of IE. Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Click on Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and Internet Tools, click on the Add/Remove button, you will be given an option to Repair the current installation instead of Remove. Are there other icons on your Desktop that give no response also?

i HAD FOUDN ONE OR TWO OTHER ICONS/SHORTCUTS THAT RAN THE SAME WAY. i CHECKED THE PROPERTIES ON THEM AND COMPARED IT TO THE ie shortcut properties and they were both the same..

Even after i UNINSTALLED that other application and reinstaleld it, i continued having the same problem as before.
