Trouble after updating to IE 7

cmac

I recently updated to the recommended Internet Explorer 7. After doing so, I
cannot open any programs on my desktop. Musicmatch, Roxio, the control panel
etc. Help with any possible reasons for this would be much
appreciated......I'm running XP btw.

Thanks.

One of the easiest fixes for this is to delete the Icon and create a new
one. Easy way to create the Icon is right click on program and create
shortcut.

Hello,

What happens when you try to open a program? Any error message?

You may want to uninstall Internet Explorer 7 if no one gives you any
helpful pointers.

No error message. When I click on a program the hourglass pops up for a
second, then nothing ever happens.....Couldn't get in to uninstall IE 7, so I
restored the computer to a date from before I installed it. System Restore
was one of the very few programs I could open......Thing is, I really liked
IE 7 when it came to internet browsing better than my current version of IE,
and would really like to be able to use it. Hopefully, someone will be able
to shed some light on the reason this may be happening.

Thanks for your quick response. I appreciate your help.
