Cant install 6.1 explorer service patch
Have you been running with the Quack?
Are you running Norton System Quack - - errr - Doctor? If so, then read on...... You may have up to 32,000 empty OEM*.INF files sitting in your c:\Windows\INF folder, which prevents any program putting a legitimate *.INF file in there (it also slow your system down to stop, trying to read them and sort the [non-existent] contents!). You need to DELETE all 0byte (and ONLY the 0byte) OEM*.INF files. look here for information on how to do that , and how to prevent it happening again (i.e. TURN OFF NORTON SYSTEM DOCTOR - unless you are actively troubleshooting something) The Symantec site: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...15010309&src=n also "Computer Stops Responding (Hangs) During Setup, Installing Updates, or Adding New Hardware" (http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q281967) also http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q301540 (which contains the fix for your problem in the NOTE under the patch description) Phone your Local MS office, and tell them your problem quoting Q301540 - they'll either send you the patch, or give you a one-use password, for the cost of the call.

Cant install 6.1 explorer service patch
the same happen to me....
I remember that IE 5.5 does not allow to overlap IE 6.0 We need to uninstall 5.5 and install 6.o or so. And I think there is something wrong going on with IE now. -----Original Message----- I have a computer windows me with 5.5 explorer on it and try to update with the 6.1 service patch which downloads fine but stops when i try to install it at 66 percent of the way done.What up with that.The other thing going on is messager wont let me updte or unistall it. . |

The only thing "wrong going on with IE now" is with your PC. So please stop
