Alias I don't know, I have installed it many times with 318 MB of ram and a 733 Mhz pentium and it worked just fine, change a few settings and works even faster. I wouldn't necessarily buy XP for it specifically though. |

XP will run but very, very slowly :-) Alias Don't open two browser windows or suffer the wrath of crash. I do though have a 433 AMD with 192 MB of ram and windows 2000 runs very well on it. It has it's limitations but works well. It doesn't like linux much but BSD works well with it. |

Back with an update-
kbid=293176 & 303360 looked too tough for me to try. kbid=303486 "Page cannot be found" kbid=811165 - item 1 "remove surfairy" do not have it item 2 "clear 'enable third party browser ext' no help also "clear 'encapsulated postscript' did not have Still looking for 'run Int Exp repair' my control panel has 31 entries including 'add & remove' but nothing about repair. Note - never did attend 'computer tech 101' sorry about that!! Cal -- CAL "Mike M" wrote: CAL wrote: Mike - thanks for trying to help! Int. Exp repair: If I remove MS Int Exp 6 sp1, then how can I repair it? Do not have :Repair Int Exp listed in Add & Remove. Please come back thanks I didn't say that you should remove IE6 SP1, instead I suggested you REPAIR it and gave the instructions on how to do this. Perhaps you were confused by this requiring you to access the IE6 repair screen via Add/Remove Programs. Follow the steps in my previous post and you should be able to repair IE6 SP1. Regrettably I can't guarantee that will fix your problem but is certainly worth trying as it costs nothing. Best of luck, -- Mike Maltby |

I'm sorry to appear to be repeating myself but you won't find "Repair IE"
in Add/Remove Programs. Instead, please carefully read what I have already typed twice before. So for the very last time, to run the Internet Explorer repair tool: With Internet Explorer closed, go to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, select "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1" click Add/Remove and then select "Repair Internet Explorer" and click OK. NOTE this doe NOT remove/uninstall IE. When you select "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1" and click Add/Remove a box pops up with THREE options, one of which is to REPAIR IE and another is to REMOVE IE. The one you want is REPAIR, that is REPAIR not REMOVE. As I have previously said, no guarantee that it will work but until you try it you will never know whether it will fix the problem or not. -- Mike Maltby CAL wrote: Back with an update- kbid=293176 & 303360 looked too tough for me to try. kbid=303486 "Page cannot be found" kbid=811165 - item 1 "remove surfairy" do not have it item 2 "clear 'enable third party browser ext' no help also "clear 'encapsulated postscript' did not have Still looking for 'run Int Exp repair' my control panel has 31 entries including 'add & remove' but nothing about repair.

Mike - thanks for being so patient.
I did as you said & clicked on the 'repair option' Result = "Int Exp 6 could not be repaired" "Run set up again to reinstall all components" I ran IE6 setup.exe & chose 'reinstall all components' Result = "D/L location information damaged" "Clear Int Exp browser cache & retry setup" How do I find & clear the browser cache?

Mike is asleep, and while I am using XP, I do remember the ME IE setup,
if not the correct wording. Open Internet Explorer, click on Tools, Options and the Delete (Temp?) files. A small box comes up asking if you want to delete some incomprehensible thing, but do click YES......and let it do it's stuff. You should be deleting those every day, btw. Otherwise you can find the IE browser cache in Windows Explorer, or wait for Mike to get back to you in about 3 hours. I did check XP's IE and it works same, but might be slightly different wording.
