I have to see if the user has the Win XP cd Dell shipped and try a re-install if I can not get this to work as is.

Also, when escalating to dell they did offer higher support but it would cost me. I wasn't about to give them my CC # for this.

What verison of IE is it?
Can you download and install the latest version IE 6 sp1
Is XP sp1 installed?
As a tech you should have these already downloaded, right?
Try that first.
You can also try IEradicator and then reinstall IE.

.....dude im still having the same problem.. i've done a massive amount of fixes.. none seemt o work.. what other options can i take??? i am running SP1 with IE 6

the computer runs all kinda sweet.. but this is the only problem im having

thanks for the help

Say again exactly what the error message is please. What windows url does update take you to?
Have you tried in safemode with networking support?

DO we have a restore disk ? ... I think I'd have either gone back to that or done a clean install by now, fixing this looks harder than starting again ... just my $0.02 at this point ;)
