Jssummerville,

Try this first. Go to Start|Run, enter cmd and click OK. At the command prompt enter regsvr32 shdocvw.dll (space after "32") and click . If that doesn't correct the problem, try replacing the file using System File Checker. Go to Start|Run, enter sfc /scannow (space after "sfc") and click OK. You may be prompted to insert your Windows XP reinstallation CD.

I've tried all the Spyware, Virus removers and such. I did try the cmd line, it showed succeeded but the problem remains. I've also tried sfc/ scannow, was prompted for my Windows CD, inserted my Dell Windows Operating System CD, and was told its the wrong CD. ?

Jssummerville,

Did you previously install XP SP2?

Yes, I did install SP2 from Windows Updates. I also ordered the CD, and got it in the mail earlier this week. When the error's began, I Restored it back to Sept. 1, before the update.
