IE (7) won't open

IE (7) won't open
Thu, 29 Nov 2007 04:47:00 -080
Repairing PC on behalf of neighbour.  Once I'd got it loading went to update 
site.  PC was running IE6.  Scan concluded that 76 High Priority updates 
required, 11 optional software and 1 optional hardware.

Downloaded and installed ALL high priority OK.

Download and installed 10 of ll optional software -Microsoft .NET framework 
3.0: x86 (KB928416) failed and error report sent.  

Restarted and rescanned and 5 further updates required - no mention of 
failed one above.  Downloaded and installed OK.  Restarted.

At this point tried to open IE to check for futrther updates.

-  Can't open using desktop icon
-  Can't open using start menu icon
-  Can't Open using all programs icon
-  Can't open using Program Files/Internet Explorer icon

Already had downloaded copy of IE7, so re-installed.  However still same 
scenario.  I cannot open IE  under any method

Internet connection is there as I can update Spybot etc etc.  Why won't IE

Please try the IE7 group.
The recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In a proper newsreader:
