    Re-installing IE6

    Hi...

    Is there any way to just reinstall IE?
    My IE kinda screwed up... it freezes every 10 mins or so.
    Did a WinXP repair install and still the same

    Thanks.

    Try updating to 6.0 SP1 if you haven't already.

      If you updated you can repair it from the add/remove programs!

      Othervise d/load it again from http://microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp
      According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

        To repair or reinstall Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP, complete the following procedure while you are logged on as an administrator:
        Use the System File Checker tool to scan all of the protected files on your computer:
        Click Start, and then click Run.
        In the Open box, type sfc /scannow, and then click OK. Note that you may be prompted to insert the Windows XP installation CD-ROM.

          Anyway to make it specific to IE6 files instead of all system files?

            That reg entry fixed it I think (testing).

                If you've done an upgrade there should be a folder holding the latest update and you should be able to run the setup from there again.

                  Yes I ran setup again and reinstalled already.
                  But it doesn't fix the original issue...

                  Time for Windows reinstall? (need to get rip of messy Creative things anyway)

                    did you run the "usual" ad-aware proggie as well? you might just be stuck with some adware or spyware programs...
