You might try to reinstall IE, the article above also tells you how to do that.



See tip 6032 at http://www.jsiinc.com/reghack.htm as well

If this doesn't help, try to reinstall the OS service pack you already have
installed (or install a newer one if possible).


If the problem persists, you'll could do an in-place upgrade of the OS and see
if it helps:
