...So first I installed IE-7 and hoped
OE-6 was also replaced. No luck
My solution at last:
Uninstalled OE and IE from Configuration (Windows setup)
Deleted the complete OE-folder within Program Files (in safe mode). Than
erased manually every folder about IE or OE.
Re-installed XP-SP1 from Disk, with the sugestion "use only files from
CD"
and that did the trick....

Did you "uninstall" IE and OE via Add/Remove Windows Components?

Did you do a Repair Install or did you format your HDD and do a clean
install?

On both questions: Yes, but not a format. That costs money, earn a living on
this computer

What did help was, after removing OE and IE a re-install XP-SP2 Home from CD
All was fine and neat, untill Windows-update came along. It looks like some
update messes up things...
