No, I did not uninstall anything before reinstalling WinME.
I don't see what you mean by hiding KB837009, I don't recognize that in my (Dutch) version of WU. Do you mean that I don't need to worry about WU offering this update any more?

How did you reinstall, did you do a clean install or did you install over
the top because if you did you may have ended up with what they call version soup, which is why Robear asked if you had uninstalled IE6 before hand.

So you did 'over-install' onto your existing WinMe system (probably from the
windows\install or CABS folder). Thus, you will now have the 'version soup' which Joan referred to. Take a look at Noel Paton's page :- "Reinstalling ME over itself - without tears" http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk/reinME.htm However, you *may* find it easier (quicker?) to undertake a fresh 'clean install' than to try to disentangle the IE6 and Media Player 9 'soup'. If you do go for the clean install, BACK-UP your data first and be sure to look at (and print out) the "cleanhd.txt" file in the win9x folder on your WinMe CD (and in the install folder mentioned earlier). You can also view the "Windows Millennium Edition Cleanhd.txt File Contents" at: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;271673 Study it carefully and be sure you have a note of your 'productid' code (the 25 digit code that is supplied with your CD - or use Belarc Advisor from http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html ) and - if your WinMe CD is an 'upgrade' version (rather than a 'full version') - some proof of a 'previous version' - e.g. your Win98 CD (N.B not required for OEM) You might also find the following KB article, "How to Use the Fdisk Tool and the Format Tool to Partition or Repartition a Hard Disk" helpful. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;255867 Whatever you decide, good luck Mart "Coen" wrote in message ...

Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack
Hello guys, Mart and others,
Thank you for all the information. After doubting some time whether or not take any further risks (?), I decided to follow the directions of Noel Paton. I did as follows: - install and run latest versions of Lavasoft and SpyBot - delete c:\windows\system\wmploc.dll - run ie6remov.bat and ie6ermov.bat and ie6remov.reg - run scanreg /backup, but I'm not sure it worked well - start from WinME-diskette in minimal mode - run c:\os\win9x\startup.exe - three times automatic restart during setup - first normal start gave an error on HP directcd - system stopped responding - manual restart in safe mode, with automatic scandisk - restart again in normal mode; everything looks working normal (including HP directcd) - run ie6setup from disk; after some while it stopped, saying is has not installed: * Internet Explorer 6 webbrowser * package for off-line surfing * browser changes - automatic reboot - ie6setup automatic asking to continue; I gave it a chance; it stopped with the same messages - automatic reboot again - I cancelled ie6setup So far no problems any more. I'm running IE5.50.4134.0100 now. In a previous attempt I got IE6 installed by first removing the folder c:\program files\internet explorer\uninstall information, but I don't want to do it again by myself. Outlook Expres 6 shows inetcomm.dll and msoe.dll both 6.00.2800.1478. WU advises me: - IE6 SP1 - security updates KB888113 and KB891781 for WinME I would like to have your advise what to do next, before making soup again ;-). Kind regards, and thanks for all your help so far. Coen "Mart" wrote: So you did 'over-install' onto your existing WinMe system (probably from the windows\install or CABS folder). Thus, you will now have the 'version soup' which Joan referred to. Take a look at Noel Paton's page :- "Reinstalling ME over itself - without tears" http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk/reinME.htm However, you *may* find it easier (quicker?) to undertake a fresh 'clean install' than to try to disentangle the IE6 and Media Player 9 'soup'. If you do go for the clean install, BACK-UP your data first and be sure to look at (and print out) the "cleanhd.txt" file in the win9x folder on your WinMe CD (and in the install folder mentioned earlier). You can also view the "Windows Millennium Edition Cleanhd.txt File Contents" at: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;271673 Study it carefully and be sure you have a note of your 'productid' code (the 25 digit code that is supplied with your CD - or use Belarc Advisor from http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html ) and - if your WinMe CD is an 'upgrade' version (rather than a 'full version') - some proof of a 'previous version' - e.g. your Win98 CD (N.B not required for OEM) You might also find the following KB article, "How to Use the Fdisk Tool and the Format Tool to Partition or Repartition a Hard Disk" helpful. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;255867 Whatever you decide, good luck Mart "Coen" wrote in message ...
