Explorer 6.0 upgrade fails to install "Windows ME"
Running "WINDOWS ME" and switched to DSL service provider. Vendor's set-up
disk contains "EXPLORER 6.0" and DSL vendor requests I upgrade to supported 6.0, but I keep receiving message that my computer was unable to install all compontents. My DSL vendor got me live on DSL without the upgrade, but I cannot access all the benifits without 6.0. I haven't deleted my AOL software yet. Any suggestions on getting 6.0 successfully installed? |

For the "unable to install all components" issue with IE6SP1 and Win ME, try this: Go to My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View: - Select "Show hidden files and folders", click Apply - OK Create a folder named "Old uninstall". Go to folder C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/Uninstall Information. Now Edit - Select All - Cut all files. Open "Old uninstall" folder and paste the files. You will now be able to install all the troublesome components. If everything works as expected, you can delete the "Old Uninstall" folder and the files you moved.

Your ISP is Verizon. There are no real goodies there, that I can't get from a paid Yahoo!, or MSN account (depending on your preference). As an SBC customer, I can pick the SBC Yahoo! junk; but I don't. Anti Virus, Firewall, Anti Spam, Anti Spyware; I can handle it all without the ISP software bundle. I could even deal with "Parental Controls" without their software, if I needed it. What you get is a bunch of software with enough bells and whistles to run your own railroad; and a tendency to crud up the system. And are doing this on a system which already had AOL on it? Its a wonder things still work decently! Get rid of everything AOL. Add nothing Yahoo! (well, except for their Messenger client, if you have contacts on their network. If you must have parental controls, only load the minimum software necessary. You should be able to run with just the generic MS Internet Explorer that came with the OS, though. I have nothing from my ISP installed, only the generic Yahoo! Pager from before SBC cut a contract with Yahoo!. There are good free anti virus programs out there, better than Yahoo! And good anti spam programs, better than Yahoo! You left AOL; why are you trying to get AOL silliness from your new ISP? -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

I plan to delete AOL before the next billing cycle. The Explorer 6.0 up-grade was needed for me to sign up with MSN services (a partner with Verizon) which includes (no charge) fire wall, anti-virus and etc. It's working now and I thank you for your feedback. Any suggestions on how best to handle losing a long time email address and getting everyone on board with the new address? |
