Usually, an internet explorer error issue can be fixed in the
following fashion:  go to add/remove programs, scroll down to internet
explorer, and click the remove button.  you should be given a choice
to either repair or remove IE.  click the repair button, and
IE/outlook express will be restored to it's original install
configuration.  should solve yoor problem.

I.m running ME.

When I go to add/delete internet explorer is not listed- also it say I
have nine hidden programs and I don't know what/where they are or how
to find them

you might want to try reinstalling windows over your current
installation. if you choose not to format you hard drive when you
reinstall you should not loose any of your information.
