Hey,

I wanna uninstall I.E 6.0 because it loads and then just dont work and i cant reinstall it for Service Pack 2 on Microsofts site has it only has it for Service pack 1 so if i get rid of this and downlaod another I.E version which will work with Service Pack 2 then i'am ok.

So i can bring it up like so in the ''Windows Componets'' screen do i just tick the checkbox and only that checkbox then click next and will that totally uninstall it ?

Infact is it even possibe for me to get I.E back on service pack 2 ? & i dont have the discs to reinstall as my XP home was already installed.

God nothings going right today

I aint uninstalled I.E 6.0 yet but i went to download I.E 5.5 but it says



You would think it would be easy to just uninstall I.E and then just re-install but noooo it has to be a little bugger about it

But you know what i really am tempted to just tick that box in the ''Windows Componets'' screen and see what happens if i naff it up and damage something then whatever, it cant get any worse.

Thx for the reply Antartic-Boy but i have ''Service Pack 2'' not 1

[Antartic-Boy]

i have ''Service Pack 2'' not 1

It's OK, just try these instructions and tell me if there are some changes..

[The G]

Right i did that



(Note, I have left it like that)

I downloaded I.E again and this came up



Should i give it a ''reboot'' ? and see if that sorts it.

[Antartic-Boy]

Please try this topic and tell me the results..

[The G]

Oh, you see thats what i would have done before but i already had XP preinstalled when i bought the PC. So i dont have the discs.

[The G]

Oh and should i turn that setting back to 1 ?

[Antartic-Boy]

Yes, you can now turn it back to 1..

[The G]

So is there anyway at all how i can uninstall I.E then just reinstall it ? since i dont have the discs ?

As i say when i got it from PCWorld it already had XP installed already on it.
