Re: explorer not working in xp

This behavior can occur if you click to select multiple icons on the desktop and include the Internet Explorer icon, and then press ENTER.

To work around this issue, do not click to select the Internet Explorer icon when you select multiple icons, or double-click each icon one at a time.

Re: explorer not working in xp

Tell us about your most recent activity before you found that explorer is not working in XP?
Do you have upgraded to windows 7 & got this problem? Cause According to my knowledge by default Xp has IE6. You are talking about IE7. Then I guess that your installation must have gone wrong somewhere.
Are you comfortable with System restore? Just restore your system to a date where your machine was working fine including the browser.
There is a possibility that the system has got any virus attack. Try a system scan 3-4 times with an updated antivirus as well as a good spyware cleaner.

Re: explorer not working in xp

IE Enhanced security is important on the server as it will prevent most spy-ware from getting installed. You can actually leave it installed and just change one setting in the IE Security Tab Internet Zone called "Launching applications and unsafe files" to Prompt (recommended).
