I recently installed a new modem on my PC (Billion 5200S RD), in doing so I had to uninstall X.P Home SP3 or it wouldn't install.
When I attempted to access the internet [internet explorer} a message came up (the operating system cannot run %1).

I have reinstalled SP3 on my PC and this has not fixed the problem.

I am at the moment using Google chrome to access the internet.

What do I do now to repair this problem.

Does the error message mention any file?

RUNDLL

C:\windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl
the operating system cannot run %1

this is what the window says

Which IE version is it?
Go to Control Panel and see, if you have Internet Options there and if it's working.

It was IE 7 and I don't have internet options for some reason.

inetcpl.cpl file is responsible for Internet Options presence.

You may have that file missing, or corrupted...

Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in Vista/7), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hold CTRL, and SHIFT, hit Enter in Vista/7).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy (with Vista/7, most likely, you won't need it).
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD (rarely in Vista/7 case).
