I have also been having the same problem and nothing else has worked apart from whiping my computer. Also just for future refrence do NOT click updates until you've read them! Thanks x

Hi Lisa,

I am Rathan, a new member for this community and heard that you get the above error message when you try logging on to the internet and its because the browser which you use has gone bad in other words its corrupted so you need to uninstall and reinstall it in order to get rid of this message.

Regards,
Rathan

Go to start, run and type in %windir%ie7spuninstspuninst.exe
This will uninstall IE 7
If this is due to a windows repair or reinstallation then IE7 has become corrupted. You are better off using this run command than add/remove programs which may not always work. Windows should revert to back to IE 6.

LostKanuk,
That worked for me... Thanks!

The problem started for me, also, when I installed XP Pro over XP Home. It was driving me crazy! So, just wanted to say THANKS!

It was because of IE7 the solution is to uninstall IE7 using the following command on the START -> RUN

%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe

This uninstalled IE7 and makes it so that you can reinstall it later.

Hope this helps

yip that did it .. Thanks, quick and easy!

Well the problem is when I type in a web address in the address bar on top but every time I click on Go it comes up with : "THE REQUEST LOOKUP KEY WAS NOT FOUND IN ANY ACTIVAITON CONTEXT"

The same thing also appears when I try to open an attachment from e-mail. I need this as I can't finish a presentation.

I don't know how to fix this problem
