Ron This might help. from LangaList Plus HTML Edition 2002-03-14.... "How To Clean-Install IE6 On XP Reinstalling IE6 on XP can be a hassle because there's no easy way to uninstall 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). groups.google.com 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."
