"How To Clean-Install IE6 On XP
Reinstalling IE6 on XP can be a hassle because there's no easy way to *un*install a version that's gone bad.
If you have good backups, of course, you can revert to a known-good state. (See langa.com ) But many people still don't bother with
backups. In that case, if your copy of IE6 goes bad, you're stuck. If you try to download and
install a clean copy, the download wizard either doesn't provide the option, or chokes and
says (in effect) "Been there, done that."
The best solution is restoring your system to a known-good state via backup, but if that
option isn't available to you, try these links.
Microsoft has posted a generic registry-edit workaround at
support.microsoft.com .
But users report that the Microsoft-sanctioned technique doesn't always work, and have
found other workarounds. You'll have to do some poking around among the results returned
by this link in order to find a solution that matches your specific situation (there's no
universal answer, alas).

In any case, it's good to know that an IE6 reinstall on XP is at least possible, and that others
have succeeded in doing just that." |
