1. Do you use a genuine Windows version ?

2. Uninstall IE using Revo uninstaller and reinstall .

3. Go to start > programs > you will find IE in the list. Make a shortcut to desktop or use it from there itself

xp is genuine. earlier ie 8 was ok. but after i had to repair xp. this problem started. even it does not show in the installed programes.
