Hope this is not a needless thread - but colleague says he has seen this problem and it required a complete rebuild.
I am running XP Home and it came preinstalled with IE of course and with the install in a disc partition (the NEC way *sigh*) I am not clear if I back that partition up to CD if it even means I can do an XP re-install.....
HOWEVER - I do have IE6 on another CD... so can I uninstall it as a windoze component and re-install, and if I do will that fix the problem?
Any comments appreciated - I do not think I will ever buy and ex-display m/c again without assurance I get to have an OOBE!
