Was it always like this or did it just start? To be perfectly honest, I would never have upgraded Windows XP from Windows 98 - the upgrade could cause many conflicts down the road. What should have been done was to back-up your important files, and then to use the WinXP ugprade CD to do a clean install. You'll be much happier with a cleaner, faster, bugfree machine in the long run.

As to fixing the problem you're having right now: As I said, did this always happen since your WinXP upgrade? Did you recently install a program, etc. right before the problem started, etc??

I had the same problem with mine and repaired successfully by running the program mcrepair.exe. You can get it at this address: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...S/mcrepair.EXE

You probably won't be able to open the links by clicking on them due to your problem. You have to right click on it and click on "copy short cut" and paste it on your desktop and then clik on it, you'll get to it.

Let me know if it worked.
