Hi Pete,
Try a repair of IE (OLE and IE run on the same connection).
Two ways to do this...
Click on
Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, then scroll down the list and highlight
Internet Explorer 6.0 and Internet Tools by clicking
once. A button will illuminate under the list saying Add/Remove program. Click on that and then click on the option to
Repair, and click
OK.
or, if that option isn't available, which isn't that uncommon..
Go to
Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | System Information | Tools | Internet Explorer Repair Tool and do it from there.
Then reboot and see if it's cured the problem.
Cheers
Liam
