Can not Install IE I found a fix for the problem I was having at not being able to install Microsoft updates or IE7. I downloaded avast the rebooted and did a complete scan. I then went to microsoft download center and downloaded xp service Pack 3 I now have IE7!Yea. Micosoft worked on my computer remotely 3 nights in a row and could not figure out the problem. I hope this will help someone else as frustrated as I was! I hope someone can figure out where to post this!
