If I where you, I would run a multiple virus scanning.
First your own Antivirus and then "Bitdefender on line", and "Trend Micro, Housecall".
And after that some anti spyware.
Stay clear of Bearshare and Kazaa. They are the "best" places to get your PC virus infected.

LOL. I have no viruses . What should we do now?

Good. Then try a registry repair software. Or / and try Mozilla Firefox intead of IE and uninstall the old Bearshare and reinstall it again.

As a last resort, try a repair installation of Windows XP. This should at least fix the IE problem.

But uninstall your videocard driver first, if it's not "WHQL certified".
This you can check by typing dxdiag in "Run". And check the box for controlling WHQL certification.

Here is a guide, how to perform a repair.

Well, I've tried reinstalling Bear Share and it still has the same problems. With the Ie, should i download the Beta 7 ? Or will this still happen?

Just download the stand-alone install of IE. The Beta probably has some issues. And use the stand-alone to re-install IE. I would recommend using Firefox instead anyway.

Agree, Try Firefox instead of the pretty crappy IE. I promise you, you dont wanna use IE after trying FF out.
