IE 6 needs repair
Greeting due to some electrical storms over the last couple of day our IE
6 is not working correctly.. (will only access websites for about 10 minutes then refuses to access anything)(have to restart the computer to get any new access) (also noticed that our WS-FTP program has stopped accessing sites as well) OE works normally and the MSN IM also works normal.. isn't there some way to have the IE repair itself? Tks, RTS |

IE 6 needs repair
You can repair Internet Explorer using Add/Remove Programs. Locate and
highlight the entry "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6SP1 and Internet Tools", now click Add/Remove and you will find the option to Repair. Note, I would very strongly advise that you create a system restore checkpoint before continuing, "just in case". See MS KB 194177 - "Description of the Internet Explorer Repair tool" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=194177). This article also applies to IE6 although not mentioned in the article. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows Rocky T Squirrel wrote: Greeting due to some electrical storms over the last couple of day our IE 6 is not working correctly..

Under the circumstances, as only in 'the last couple of days' and if you
haven't made major changes recently then perhaps a System Restore back to three? days ago might just resolve it - assuming the storms haven't damaged any hardware. If not, try Noel's "Uninstalling and Re-installing IE" at :- http://www.crashfixpc.com/ReInIE.htm Mart "Rocky T Squirrel" wrote in message ...

IE 6 needs repair
FYI Mike,
the repair of the ie 6 didn't help.. its seems with some trial and error experimenting I located the problem to be the Zone Alarm Firewall program.. It has screwed up the IE to the point it can't be removed. If I remove the Zone Alarm Firewall program the IE 6 stops working.. Even after I do a repair on the IE 6, it reaches out from the grave of removed program and stops the browser.. It seems when the Zone Alarm Firewall program is removed it creates another archive file thats causing the problem.. Thanks anyway.. RTS "Rocky T Squirrel" wrote in message ...

IE 6 needs repair
Mart, the rollback seems to be the only way i can get the IE 6 to work..
There is a Zone Alarm Firewall on the machine that can't be removed without crashing the browser.. Everything I've tried so far won't correct the problem.. Its the Zone Alarm Firewall thats the problem.. It's also screwing up the startup of the machine.. 2 out of 3 attempts at startup require a scandisk to get the machine to run.. Tried removing the Zone Alarm Firewall but when i do the browser crashes.. Zone Alarm Firewall 6.1.744.001 Thanks for the effort.. RTS "Rocky T Squirrel" wrote in message ...

Zone Alarm Firewall 6.1.744.001
FWIW, as far as I remember, that version shouldn't be used on WinME.....I believe you should stick to the Version 5.xxxxx ones. In fact, I have version 5.5 on XP even though it is inactive. I know there was a problem with one of the Version 6 ones, but perhaps someone else can tell you. Maybe you could replace it with an older version and then the browser hopefully won't crash. Try www.oldversion.com to get an older one. Good luck.....Heather "Rocky T Squirrel" wrote in message ... Mart, the rollback seems to be the only way i can get the IE 6 to work..

This is really good advice, Heather and not only for the 'Squirrel'. It comes in handy in a lot of cases, especilly for WinME. My complements and thanks. Harry. "Heather" wrote in message ...

IE 6 needs repair
Rocky,
Try a clean uninstall of ZA using the following steps, and then complete the repair on IE. quote In order to perform a clean uninstall of ZoneAlarm, please follow the steps below: IMPORTANT - If you have a Cisco VPN client installed, you must first uninstall the VPN client, then follow the instructions below, and reinstall the Cisco VPN client again afterwards. This procedure will remove all traces of the TrueVector service, which was incorporated by Cisco into their VPN software. * If you wish to keep your settings, create a Backup from Overview - Preferences before starting, and then Restore afterwards (available in ZoneAlarm Premium products only). * Click on Start - Programs - Zone Labs * RIGHT-click on Uninstall Zone Labs Security, then select Properties * Under Target you will see the following line (the actual drive may be different on your system): "C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zauninstexe" * Change it to: "C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zauninst.exe" /clean (add a space and then the /clean) * Click OK to save the new command line. * In ZoneAlarm (Overview - Preferences - General), clear Load ZoneAlarm at startup, and then reboot. * Click on Start - Programs - Zone Labs - Uninstall Zone Labs Security * Click OK to run the uninstaller, and OK any security alerts that pop up. * say "Yes when being prompted for the removal of all files and allow TrueVector to shut down. * Reboot * After rebooting, check for the following folders, and delete them if you find them: "Internet Logs" "Zone Labs" (under your Program Files folder) "Zonelabs" (under your Windows System32 folder) * Empty your recycle bin * Reboot * install the latest version if you are reinstalling quote Zonealarm 6.1.744.001 is the last version that you can use with WinME.
