Noel, my Boot Disk/DOS expertise is poor, but before a question I have
completed all scans, dis-abling, etc. ie6setup.exe ver 6_sp1 480-79324 KB Dn-Loaded to My Documents ( I'm confused about instruction to "Find the Disk/Drive that you put the installer into" - Was Dn-Loading ie6setup.exe to My Documents OK?) Now, I did Re-Start with Me Start-up Disk in A: and saw the 3 choices incl Without CD-Rom Support; It did some things by itself when I Did Not select a choice but when I removed Floppy, went to C:\ , I only knew to type Windows. Got message ...Not Ready Reading Drive A Abort Retry Fail So, I need actual steps after removing Me Start Disk (and doing the RESTORE steps) to get back into Windows. Ready to try after that. Thanks!

Craig
I'm a little concerned that you may only have downloaded the 458KB stub for the IE setup - and not the whole program (which should be around 15MB+) The My Documents folder is fine for the files (make sure that they go into a subfolder within it, though) Removing the floppy drive before doing anything, and getting that message, does at least show that you've booted properly to the floppy rather than anything else!g You need to leave the floppy in the drive until you want to reboot. leave the disk in, and type C: [followed by Enter] you should get a C:\ prompt if you now type CD WINDOWS [Enter] - the prompt should change to C:\WINDOWS - now type DIR and hit [Enter] - you should end up with a seemingly never-ending list of the files in the Windows folder. That essentially 'proves' the floppy works properly for use later if necessary. If you now take the floppy out, and reboot, you should end up back in Windows (to reboot, just hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, or even better, hit the power button, and shut the machine down for a minute or two while you make yourself a drink!g - Using the power button to power down is fine in DOS, as any OS activity is usually self-evident) HTH -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Craig S" wrote in message ...

Noel, In IE Downloads section Only IE6 SP1 is referred to and it says This
version includes a full installation of the Web browser and the most recent version of Outlook Express, the e-mail client that is included with Internet Explorer. The asterick after "480 - 79324 KB says "Download file size depends on "selected Download components, yet no choices are given - Only ie6setup.exe which Downloads quickly and must be only a bridge for Downloading the rest on demand. Nothing in IE Downloads says "I'm the entire IE6 SP1 application". I'll post on the Internet Explorer Group and see if someone knows what to do. Will advise asap. Thanks!

IE6 SP1 for Win Me and then install it later as required. -- Mike Maltby Craig S wrote: Noel, In IE Downloads section Only IE6 SP1 is referred to and it says This version includes a full installation of the Web browser and the most recent version of Outlook Express, the e-mail client that is included with Internet Explorer.

what do you make of that?
That what I thought was relatively straightforward apparently is not. See e) below which provides the solution to the problem. a) Download ie6setup.exe to a folder such as IE6 located in My Documents b) Double click ie6setup.exe to run c) Click "I accept the agreement" and then Next d) Select Install Minimal or customize and then click Next e) Click Advanced and check the box "Download only" and then click OK f) Select Win Me and click Next 12.7MB or so later you should have what you want. Sorry not to have spelt the procedure out in full in my previous post. -- Mike Maltby Craig S wrote: Mike, I was surprised to clk ie6setup.exe and see a "Minimal" Choice to Download - Install later . When I did so the Target Destination for Save To was Greyed out & I started seeing the word "Installing" appear/ Not Downloading ; I hit Cancel with pop-ups asking me now if i want to (ie) "Finish or Return later?"

Mike, things were Downloading fine (12.7 MB displayed / then 13011 KB) but
then it asked "Do you want to Install & Run Internet Explorer Service Pack 1?" I said No, and then it falls apart. Error msg: "Unable to Download Components; make sure Internet Connection OK, etc." Surely Install & Run if Chosen is not related to Download - Install Later. When I tried ie6setup.exe again it gives a choice to Resume or Start Over; I Started Over & reached same Dead-end over it wanting to Install & Run. After the Advanced tab was clk'd and I chose Download Only, it created a Windows\Windows Update Setup Files Folder where it said to Clk ie6setup.exe when ready. That's where I've been operating from - Any other ideas? "Mike M" wrote: what do you make of that? That what I thought was relatively straightforward apparently is not.

Well, your mention to Download to where ie6setup is, since I had
mentioned 2 places I wasn't sure if you meant to Download to the Special Folder I created but I moved the Windows Update Setup File back over to My Documents\IE6SP1 I created and the Download Did Not Like it. Moved all back to Windows and it completed. I Clk the ie6setup.exe to Finish. The fact that Install & Run is part of Download and Install later "logic" proves that software engineers clearly hate people of low to average expertise. Will advise when I get the nerve to start the Delete/Re-Install. Many Thanks for your patience.

Mike / Noel: IE6 Re-Installed & working but Office Updates still Freezes at
51%; The following has occurred: The 329115 Patch in Noel's copy-righted Instructions would always Default to Windows Update when the 329115 DnLoad link was clk'd, so I updated what it gave; Windows KEEPS saying KB837009 (OE SP1) is a Critical Update Required even after I installed it 3 times ( showed Successful & is in History 3 times). Only once did Win Update let me go to 329115 page and it finally DnLoaded; Error Msg when 329115.EXE Clk'd on Desktop: "Q329115.EXE File is Linked to Missing export NTDLL.DLL:strstr" ; (I see NTDLL.DLL in Windows\System) Behind that Error Block is: "A Device attached to the System is not functioning" (and the C:\Windows\Desktop Path for 329115.EXE is the header on that block). Maybe I can just look at Office Downloads & go by dates to manually Update; Any idea How to Tell Win Updates that KB837009 OESP1 is Loaded? Thanks for all that you did!!
