    Unable to uninstall/reinstall Internet Explorer.

    I'm running Windows XP, and lately, my internet explorer has been buggy as fuck. Crashing whenever i click hyperlinks, or popups that open onclick.

    So, i tried to uninstall it and reinstall it. Thing is, it doesn't even show up on the list of programs at the Add/Remove programs thing. And when i try and remove it as a windows component, i'm prompted to put in my "Messenger CD-ROM."

    What the fuck?

          That's not helping.

                  You need to reinstall the OS... Do the upgrade thing.. All you programs will still work.. Happened to me a couple of times too.

                      Reinstalling Windows XP. Will it keep all my user profiles and data? (mail folders, messages, contacts, favourites, etc) Or am i gonna have to back all this shit up? I'm too fucking tired. It's 4.29 am and i'm going to bed.

                          Dude, no reinstall do a system restore that will restore your system the way it was before you installed/upgraded MSIE.
                          You can select any date that is available.

                              No good if you've made a lot of changes you want to keep since then. Re-intsall works fine. It doesn't touch any files other than the OS ones it considers buggered.
                              Ignorance is never bliss.

                                  that will do.

                                          DynaMite and Lars, cheers. System restore worked like a charm.
