Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I could only find one version for XP on Microsoft's download site, but then again, I didn't look too closely to see if it was "pre-SP3" or "post-SP3." There might be other versions that I just didn't notice.

May not be the same, but it's the best I can remember.

IE6 still works, once I uninstall it, but IE7 is a "no-go." Has your sister tried scanning with Vipre Rescue and/or Malware Bytes and/or SpyBot S&D? Several of the links I checked suggested that Malware may have gotten installed, so that it is corrupting the install. I plan on scanning the user's laptop when he goes to lunch today.

Her IE would only open for a second and then disappear. Tried loads of Google suggestions about resetting IE to defaults, removing it and reinstalling - no joy. I reinstalled XP on the laptop, and guess what - the issue came back after about a day. I am totally at a loss to explain it and resorted to introducing her to Firefox. Unfortunately Windows Live Messenger seems not to play well with IE in this state, but it's one of the few unsolved mysteries I've had in my IT career.

All my research suggests that something is causing a corrupt install, and I've run just about every test I can, short of running a malware scan (I don't want to tie up the laptop that long while the user is trying to get some work done, I'll run a scan while the user is at lunch!)
