I re-installed my PC because I was having problems with Programs causing errors and a system restore would not complete succesfully. My original XP is proffessional 2002( no SPs). After installing the PC, I can connect to internet without problems but after applying service pack 2 the IE6 wont open the web pages anymore. I tryed everything suggested in the Microsoft support site to no avail. Then I uninstall SP2 and IE6 works perfectly. I'm baffled since I'm a PC technician and this is the 1st time I see this type of behavior. The problem started with "IE has encountered an error and needs to shut down" error. That is when I decided to reinstall Has anyone seen this before?
