Problem is solved:
For those of you that end up with the same problem:
goto to
http://support.microsft.com and download the latest version of IE with the service packs. THen:
1.
While you are logged on as an administrator, click
Start, and then click
Run.
2.
In the
Open box, type
regedit, and then click
OK.
3.
Locate the appropriate registry subkey, right-click the

To reinstall only the Internet Explorer 6 browser component on Windows XP, use the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}
To reinstall only Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP, use the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}
4.
Change the value data from 1 to 0, and then click
OK.
5.
Quit Registry Editor, and then install Internet Explorer 6 by double clicking on the file you previously downloaded. By editing the registry, you have fooled the system into thinking that IE is not installed, it will then install ALL IE components, not just those it thinks you are missing from your pc.
The down load is 7400KB and takes a few minutes, it then begins the reinstall on its own. It will need to reboot early on in the process (after 5-10% completion) Make sure all other processes are closed and allow the system to reboot and complete its installation.
Thats it - you're done!
