Explorer 6 update
FWIW, there's detailed procedures for both reinstalling IE6 in ME, and
reinstalling ME over itself on my site. http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk/ME_Gen/U...l_IE_in_ME.htm http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk/ME_Gen/r...ver_itself.htm -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "Corday" wrote in message ... I know this is a very old thread, but it needs one addition. When reinstalling IE6 with SP1 it will be necessary to use Windows Update to download the security updates because they were lost with the uninstall. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics!

Note: Someone had suggested a similar procedure in response to another post regarding the same problem, which did not work for me. I think this one worked because, while having Windows Update open, I first moved the old IE info into a separate folder and then attempted the download.

At least there is no such folder in the temp folder and it does not show when I do a search. All other files listed in the folder iesetup (configuration setting) are present. Does anybody know where I can find the ie6setup.exe file or how I can get it to download? I also have been unable to install the security update KB888113. It tells me that the installation was successful, but it pops up again every time I run Windows update. Any suggestion? |

Explorer 6 update
That could be worth a bundle of money to someone, including me.
Whenever I go back to my 'old ME', I experience a feeling of exaltation and sadness at the same time. It was very good to me while it lasted and it may be for a long time to come. Harry.
