Hello
I reistalled window xp media center, during the installation I got this message iexplore can not be found. it was giving me option to brows for it. but I could not find it on the 3rd CD of the window. Now the istallation is completed, but internet explorer icon is not there so I can go to internet. Is there anyway I can fix this?

Best Regards

He has no internet, the IE browser is gone.
IE is bundled into windows.
I would do a clean install of windows.

To resolve this issue:
On the Start menu, point to Search, and then click For Files or Folders.
In the Search for files or folders named box, type iexplore.exe. In the Look In box, click Local Hard Drives, and then click Search Now.
If the file is not found, go to step 4.

If the file is found, you can do either of the following:
Move the file to the \Program Files\Internet Explorer folder, and then start Internet Explorer. If this does not resolve the issue, rename the file by changing the file name extension to .old, and then proceed to step 4.
