mountaintree16 Posted February 3, 2010 ID:193524 Share Posted February 3, 2010 May I ask why you were trying to roll back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abuaufa Posted February 3, 2010 Author ID:193531 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I previously had XP Home SP2 and tried to upgrade to get SP3.Then it asked me to reboot. After that I got Black Screen and " dnsapi.dll / lsass.exe - bad image "message.So, I googled and found the fastest way is Roll Back or Reinstall SP2. I did it successfulNow, IE back to IE6. That's why I tried to get back IE8 and no result.All I can get "the requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context "Now, I can't reach MS update.I'm sure, PC is clean. No viruses or malware. Thats the historythank for advance help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaintree16 Posted February 3, 2010 ID:193532 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hmm that's more than I am able to help with, I'm sure someone else will have an idea though What are you running on currently? (That will help out whoever is able to help you). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox Posted February 3, 2010 ID:193845 Share Posted February 3, 2010 It was caused because you had IE6 reinstalled with SP2 with IE8 engine running in the background including the tabs that IE6 did not understand.You could have Uninstalled it via Add/Remove Programs, click Show Updates and select Windows Internet Explorer 8.0.The when you reinstall it, make sure you reboot immediately after you install.But its fixed now so no big deal.

DarkSnakeKobra Posted February 3, 2010 ID:193885 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I don't think it would be bad idea to upgrade to IE 7 first then IE8. May help to avoid problems if updated in order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
