Not too sure I can be any help Lilith.... only thing that springs to mind is what I found out the other week when I was having problems with my Explorer.....

.....if you go to Add/Remove programs and select Internet Explorer it (should!!) give you the option to "Fix" it.... that's what sorted things out on mine. I use Windows ME though, and I'm not certain if you get the same options with XP!

Good Luck!
