Internet explorer screwed up --need help

OK people I know your smarter than I am so I'm sure someone out there can help me .
I'm using win xp pro , I E 6.0 .
Problem is when I try to download something I get a blank page with a small box in the top left corner and thats it . if I try to register a program I get a message can't connect.
I have done the regsvr32 urlmon.dll thing also did in fact check all the registery settings hkey-classes_root clsid and there all correct ---- I'm stuck any suggestions would be helpfull thanks

 

thanks robo for the quick responce

sorry i didn't include the other info -- did clean temp int files and cookies - also ran reg clean and compactor - ran a good virus scan tried to repair I E in the control panel still the same results -- tried to reinstall I E and couldn't ( wouldn't let me says I have the latest verision ) the reason Im doing this is cause I purchased some software and a new printer and cant register it on the net --- by the way Im running broadband and get 2.5 connection speed with comcast have checked with them also and they don't have a answer oh well I sit back and hope for the best

 

Hey wk990,

In terms of what robo mentioned, and dealing with updates of IE, have you gone to the Windows Update Site - which is what he meant, although reinstall was a good attempt.

Also, for spyware checkers, several programs you can try that are popular would be:

Spybot Search & Destroy
Ad-Aware
BHO Demon (may be relevant to your problem)

...ok and i just noticed that you can't seem to download from IE...
Hopefully one of the majorgeeks can place the downloads for these programs on an ftp server, and you can use your ftp client (be it one you already installed yourself, or the one that came with windows) to grab them.

Thanks Draith

Yes I did use Spybot / Adware but new to BHO deamon and I have checked for win updates and I'm current with them, I should have mentioned that explorer works fine I can use it and browse all pages load fine and colors are ok It's just when I try to download something or use it to register some thing I purchased. So far I went to event viewer and found the error code and went to MS knowledge base with that I did check what was advised and found only two items that were not loading and they were ( regsvr32 url.dll ) and ( cleaut32.dll) all the rest were ok and did check for missing or corrupt lines in the registery but again all is right. At this stage Im stuck I really appreciate all the help you folks are giving I really don't want to do a clean Install too much to lose or reinstall. again thanks

 

thanks halo

ok did as you suggested and as faith would have it yep it does show Cipher Strenght is 128bit-- dam wish it was the problem at least i would have a possiable fix , also I went to the links you provided and it showed ( current browser version is MSIE 6.0 , your browser supports strong encription ,--- secure browser support, ---digital certificate support, ) also if it means anything in the help menu shows ver 6.0.1106 xpsp2 030422-1633 and the sp 1 i have 10 updates -- guess on my puter I E is all screw up and I'll have to use it as is I really appreciate all the help, just joined last night and posted my problem and have to say you people are great . I can't thank you all enough for the help you have given me.

 

I have had the same problem and could not solve the IE problem. Used Mozzila as browser and was able to download.
