Hello all My name is Erika I just moved here to Hawaii. I purchased a computer from Wal-Mart last September.

My enternet explorer was having errors constantly so i downloaded firefox. was doing good I am a online student and have to post assignments in everyday. I need help Micro Soft and Enternet explorer Techs have deleted some of my registry files and I am now unable to post in my school forums Can any one help me. I am on a E-machine computer Windows xp home addition. I am able to browse and chat and post here but unable to in my classes.

You can use System Restore, roll back to a restore point before the registry deletions were made.

I have tried and system restore can not make any changes to go back it wants a operating disc. Explorer techs erased everything to do with explorer. I am stuck i never had problems with firefox.

I can surf and chat and send online but when i go to classes i can not post or send I asked my school techs and they are puzzled any ideas how to fix this?

To the best of my knowledge, System Restore does not ask for the OS disc. System File Checker (sfc) might, however.

I'm confused - if you never had problems with Firefox, why don't you just use Firefox?

Probably because the school uses some crap online system that uses some IE-only proprietary technology such as ActiveX instead of vendor-neutral open web standard technology.

At least that is my suspicion.
