Sounds like WinME was reinstalled without first uninstalling IE6 SP1 when

the machine was "refurbished (i.e., /before/ you purchased it). The folks

in WinME General newsgroup can help you fix this and get IE6 SP1 installed

properly.

Re: PA Bear...Re: Cant repair IE 6

 

Tarcia,

 

If Win Me was reinstalled on a system where IE6 was installed without

first uninstalling IE6 the result is a mish mash of versions with parts of

IE5.5 and IE6 installed. The following might help you to properly install

IE6 (or IE6 SP1) and resolve the problem.

 

Using Windows Explorer first set it so you can view hidden system files

and folders (Tools | Folder Options | View and check "Show hidden files

and folders" and UNcheck "Hide protected operating system files" and

Apply).

 

Create a new folder "C:\Program Files\Internet Backup"

 

Locate the folder "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Uninstall

Information". Move the contents of this folder to the folder "C:\Program

Files\Internet Backup" created above.

 

Now try installing IE6 (or better IE6 SP1), re-selecting all components

that you want using

the Advanced option, even those already bolded, and see if this works. If

this works you can now safely delete the folder "C:\Program Files\Internet

Backup" and its contents. If not, copy the files back to the "C:\Program

Files\Internet Explorer\Uninstall Information" folder and delete the

"C:\Program Files\Internet Backup" folder.

Tarcia,

 

Not a problem. I've also been offline for the most part of the last

three/four weeks or so for much the same reason.
