IE XP Trouble
I have a major problem with my IE6 in XP. I am on admin account and for quite some time there has been something wrong. It's only IE, nothing off IE has this problem. The text is either too big, too small and/or it overlaps other text, I can't see certain pictures (especially backgrounds) and those I do see sometimes overlaps text or other pictures. I've never seen or heard of this problem. What could be wrong with it? I'm getting very frustrated as my online journal nor the homepage I'm working on will show a background so I don't know how it looks and when text is overlapped by other text or other pictures it gets very problematic to read certain things. It's not like this everywhere but it occurs very often.
Would appriciate a response.
Thank you,
Alicia

No, I mean offline contents, text that doesn't relate to the internet. I only have an IE browser.You could try running SFC , which checks protected System Files for corruption & if found replaces them from reinstall..XP CD .
If it prompts for XP CD , hold Shift key while inserting XP CD to stop Auto play.
Use Start > Run & type
sfc /scannow (space after sfc)
------------------
If that doesn't fix problem;
You can get Doug Knox fix vbs file & info to re-install IE & or OE using
his Auto VBS script & select only IE , removes installed markings & runs command line.
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_ie_reinstall.htm
Just authorize Script. (Installs from XP CD , if CD contains XP+Sp1 then should also have IE6+Sp1)or manually remove installed markings using Doug Knox site link to Microsoft info & download IE+SP1 from Microsoft link
(IE+SP1 contains OE as it is part of IE)

Thank you. We are planning on reinstalling the computer in a near future. Hopefully it will work then.
