Guest Pat Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I ran Windows Update for a Windows XP Pro SP2 (with IE6) on my computer that hasn't been connected to the Internet for 2 years. No updates for IE6 show up. When I manually download IE6 updates and try to install, I get a popup that says something like "you must have Internet Explorer 6 to run this update". Well, I have IE6. (I want to install IE7, but not over a bad install of IE6). According to this page, WinXP SP2 doesn't have a repair IE6 capability: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378 so I have to re-install SP2? Is it safe to re-install? Or will re-installing SP2 cause features of my computer to revert? What's the safest thing to do here?
