This usually indicates the index.dat files are damaged. The contents
of the Content.IE5 folder including the index.dat file will have to be
deleted from another account. If another administrator account is not
available boot into Safe Mode. Boot tapping the F8 key as the BIOS
information goes by. At the Windows Advanced Options menu select Safe
Mode. On the welcome screen select Administrator. This is the hidden
Administrator account. Using Windows Explorer navigate to the files in
question and delete them. Reboot into the previous account and see if
the file are gone.
