Thanks for taking the time to reply Cluberti - I am about to dig out my rescue disk! Cheers Jackie

Thank you Cluberti - I will now leave that tree alone! Being a bit of a numbskull when it comes to the inner workings of Windows, I don't know what EFS is but I guess I don't really need to know. My major problems with IE7 is that, on some pages I get the little "Error on page" message in the bottom left hand corner of the page on many websites and on some, mainly secure sites I've noticed, some links will not work - in particular links to make payments with PayPal or the link to my account on my bank website. Sometimes I also get the Script error box come up but with no details and the only way I can get rid of it is to close the webpage with Task Manager. I have disabled script debugging and notification of script errors but it doesn't make any difference. I think I may have a serious problem with Windows XP because when I try to validate my version of windows, the validation program cannot supply me with a code. I have validated numerous times in the past without a problem. I have also lost System Restore and the Search function. Anyway, thank you for your reply it is very much appreciated.

For the past week I have been having untold problems with Windows XP and IE7. I ran Dependency Walker and it shows that both of the above files are missing from IE7. After hours of trying to find these files on the net and coming up with a hundred programs that promise to fix every problem known to Windows XP I still don't know how to get these files. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download these two files from the net and, if so, how can I get them?

My Toshiba Laptop came with Windows XP Home installed. I have had no problem for the past two years until a couple of days ago when I encountered the dreaded blue screen for the first time. With it came a number of problems, some of which I was able to fix but I have been left with the following unsolved mysteries. 1. System Restore comes up with only a blank white screen 2. Internet Explorer opens web pages but, on pages that have secure links, there is the little "Error on page" message in the bottom left hand corner of the page and the links will not work. For example, I can go to my Credit Union main page and all links work except the one that takes me to the login page for my account. On another website I tried to pay for a product using PayPal and the link to make the payment would not work. When I click on those links nothing happens. 3. When I try to open McAfee Security Center I get the "Internet Explorer Script Error" box but with no details. It asks me if I want to continue running scripts on the page but, no matter whether I click "yes" or "no" the only way I can get rid of the box is to close the McAfee page using Ctrl+Alt+Del 5. I am unable to validate my version of Windows, even though I have done it on a number of occasions in the past. When I run the validation script I get the message that it cannot give me a validation code. Sorry if I have raised too many problems in one post but I am assuming that they may all have a common cause.
