You are probably best to do a clean install. I have a 2003 server that IE went wonky on after some adware started spawning zillions of popups. AVG got rid of the popups, but IE was still crippled. I did a second option repair and ie works most of the time, but still does some weird things.

I am suprised that you lost IE on a Windoze system. I mean, I am surprised you were able to. It used to be that deletion of IE would completely disable the Windows operating system. If you have high speed internet access, you can download the Mepis ISO from www.mepis.com and burn it to a CD.

You have not deleted ie, but perhaps removed/hidden access to it. The basic functionality is embedded and required by the operating system. The core DLL's are referenced by os calls. If you delete the DLL's, the OS will crash - more than usual. If you dislike it that much, try Linux. -Dave
