Can Windows Me Lock-up Office XP Updates?

In Win Me, Office XP "Check for Updates" FREEZES at 51% and a "Repair" and
"Re-Install" w/ Dell-supplied Office XP Small Business Disk fail to correct.
(Did Not Re-install Office XP Media Disk supplied, too.)
Can Windows Me have anything to do with this Freeze? If Yes, what next?

More likely is that you have problems with Internet Explorer - have you
attempted to reinstall ME also??

Thanks, Noel, No I have not Re-installed Me.
Had horrible time last Me Re-install & must ask if I should Delete IE6 and
two Q# Hotfixes I see in Control Panel Add/Delete because the Dell disk will
Re-install IE 5.X.
Too many error messages last time installing OVER IE6 and I'd appreciate any
notes on how to minimize "Uh-Oh messages". Thanks again!

Noel, saw in Me Internet Chat Group that Deleting IE6 caused Boot-up
"lock-up" and Mike Maltby advised trying System Restore to "prior to IE
Delete. So, is there anywhere that tells you the correct choices to make
while Re-installing Me as it relates to IE (ie) Do I want to restore IE to
earlier version, etc? Nothing is intuitive to me the questions asked.
Help as much as your time-patience allows. many Thanks!

I just responded to your earlier post - it's still valid.

Look here for instructions on reinstalling ME over itself
http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/reinME.htm

I suspect that there's still come stuff that wasn't properly fixed from the
last time - look here for the 'final solution' g

Wow, Noel. I'll have to get "liquor'd up" for this job.
Little confused if Re-Installing IE URL presumes I already Re-Installed Me,
or can the IE Re-Install instructions stand alone as a fix without Re-Install
of Me?
You realize, I hope, that I'll have to get real "liquor'd up" to do all this.
I'm Deeply appreciative of your time and help!

First try a Repair of IE from Safe Mode Add/Remove Programs....

Reboot to Safe Mode
Go to Add/Remove Programs and try a repair of Internet Explorer from there.
Go to the entry for 'Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools'
in Add/Remove Programs
Click on Remove - and click on Repair on the window that pops up
Reboot on request to Normal Mode

If the above entry isn't there, you first need to uninstall all the patches
applied, then do the repair, then reapply the patches
The patches are listed in Add/Remove under the names 'Internet Explorer
Qxxxxxx'
highlight, click Remove - reboot if requested.
Repeat until the MSIE6SP1 entry appears - then repair as above.


If that fails, then post back with the exact symptoms at that time - we'll
take it from there.
