    • Nothing happens
    • The new window may be blank

  • When you use the Print command or the Print Preview command in Internet Explorer, nothing may happen.
  • When you try to connect to Web folders, you may receive the following error message: "The current operation could not be completed because an unexpected error has occurred."
  • Internet Options Advanced tab is completely blank.
  • Internet Explorer About box version information is completely blank.
  • Address bar search does not work.
  • Unable to type in text boxes in a search engine or website.

What IEFix does?

  • Registers the core Internet Explorer libraries.
  • Repairs Internet Explorer using IE.INF method. (Windows XP)
  • Fixes the application path setting (Windows XP)

IEFix Usage

  1. Download IEFix and run it.
  2. Click the Apply button.
  3. You'll be prompted for the Operating System CD or the Service Pack Files location:
  • If you're using Windows XP, insert the Operating System CD. For OEM systems, point to the Operating System source path when prompted. If you've applied a Service Pack separately, you need to insert the Slipstreamed Operating System CD (if you have one) or point the installer to the ServicePack source path when prompted (see Fig 2 below). Mention the path as  "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" or "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles"
  • If you don't have the Windows installation CD, and if the installation source files are not present in the hard disk, you may click Cancel when you see a dialog similar to Fig 2below. IEFix will continue with DLL registration part.
