IE8 installs but won't run

Hello,

I know there is a group for IE but there is so little activity there
no one has responded to my posting.

Yesterday I installed IE8 and the install went fine except the program
won't open.

There is nothing of interest in the Event Viewer that seems to pertain
to the trouble.

I tried to re-install it and all it did was take out IE8 which left me
with a sort of crippled copy of IE7 <sigh>

Any thoughts as to what to do? Using XP Pro SP3 all updates.

Mercifully I made an Acronis image of the C and D drives before I made
the mistake of putting IE8 on the HD.

Thank you,

Accomac

Obviously, your fall-back option is to restore using Acronis - but, before
doing that,have you contemplated doing a System Restore to a time before
your IE8 install?
