Internet Explorer problem
I have two machines - a desktop and a laptop.
I am not sure if this is relevant, but I had previously downloaded IE7 Beta, and forgot to uninstall it.
I then upgraded Windows XP Home to Windows XP Professional, and as soon as I did it, I get the following error message on the desktop machine when I started to use IE.
"The procedure entry point InternetGetSecurityInfoByU RLW could not be located in dunamic link library WININET.dll"
Microsoft Help firstly tried sfc /scannow and then did a Windows repair but still not working.
On the laptop, I now have IE6, but I get another instance running when I change urls, but the second one hangs.

Actually, I had to reformat my hard drive

This is what I had to do.
1. Control Panel - Remove Windows stuff - Untick Internet Explorer
2. Windows Registry under HKLM - Software - Microsoft - Active Setup - GUID with + -IsInstalled=0
3. Rename c:\windows\system33\winine
4. c:\windows\inf\ie.inf install - you need XP disc.
5. Start - Run - scf /scannow - takes time
6. Reboot - Windows SetUp - New Install, but then Repair
