Okay First and formeost happy thanksgiving to everyone and there families.

ok now heres my problem.i recently ran portable wmp 11. now i had wmp11 already installed on my pc. when i tried to listen to music i couldn't. i then reinstalled wmp 11 still was having problems. so i googled it and found out some things to do and finally got it working . okay now to ie7. when i tried to login to my hotmail account to check emails . just get a blank page with it trying to connect to my email. i then tried to login yahoo and ythe same probems occured. so i then reinstalled ie7 hoping that would take care of it and it didnt. i went to the internet options under ie7 and reset everything back to default and it stills does nothing .i ran some registry fixers and still nothing. so i run firefox and im able to get on every page without a problem at all .now when i open up ie7 i get this page http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx which is the main page to configure your ie7. but even this page stays blank but i see those words up in the address bar. can anyone help me on this ????and btw i am running xp pro and everything is up to date .

I'd uninstall IE7 and roll back to IE6. If you want a tabbed browser look to Firefox. It's free and has several other things going for it too.

At one point I did install IE7 and it slowed my pc down. After uninstalling it the only thing I use IE6 for is to get Windows updates. I use Firefox for everything else.

I'd also roll back to Windows Media Player 10 because of some issues with DRM but that's just me. WMP 10 does everything I want it to do and none of the things I don't want it to do. Do a search with Google or here at TR for DRM and/or Windows Media Player 11 as I've forgotten most everything I used to know about it. :D

After Some Long reading and googling i fixed the issue without having to reinstall xp pro or reinstall ie7 heres what i did. btw the issue is with 3 dll files .

I downloaded the following 3 dlls

Msxml.dll
Msxml2.dll
Msxml3.dll

del /q Msxml.dll
del /q Msxml2.dll
del /q Msxml3.dll
copy /Y %windir%\system32\DLLCACHE\Msxml.dll *.*
copy /Y %windir%\system32\DLLCACHE\Msxml2.dll *.*
copy /Y %windir%\system32\DLLCACHE\Msxml3.dll *.*
regsvr32 /s Msxml.dll
regsvr32 /s Msxml2.dll
regsvr32 /s Msxml3.dll

The clincher for me in finding this solution was that MMC wasn't working in addition to my IE7 problems so if that symptom is affecting you as well I'd recommend it. Try just re-registering the DLLs to start with:

@echo off
CD /D %SystemRoot%\System32
regsvr32 /s Msxml.dll
regsvr32 /s Msxml2.dll
regsvr32 /s Msxml3.dll

this solved my issue totally and from the reading i did theres alot of people that have this issue.

heres the link ; from where i took the advice

I'm going to stick with my set-up the way that it is. It's not broken so why fix it?
