Still IE6 Problems

19 years ago

I saved all my emails from all suggestions and again I tried mikie's and Randy's suggestion and I found the correct Hotkey and I right clicked and changed the value from 1 to 0 and it still won't let me download IE 6.

I tried Cat's suggestion from a while back and Bob i4's and nope. It will not let me download IE6...am I in trouble for changing that value from 1 to 0?

Starting all over again is just an awful long task. Its 10 hours of downloads just to get everything running again, has anybody heard anything new...I guess my IE6 is so messed up...

Maybe I'm thinking wrong but seem to recall with xpsp2, you can re-install it to

rebuild ie6.

reinstall or repair Internet Explorer 6 and Outlook Express in Windows XP:

I tried all above again, just now, and won't let me download IE6 because I have a "newer version" ... the junk left over from IE7.

I don't want go through the Norton setup or Microsoft updates...again. Lemme know if anybody can think of anything else.

What exactly is the problem you have with IE6 or IE7 besides that you can't install an older version.
318378 should have all the answers.

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.

Or a repair of Windows XP, or reinstall Windows XP.

If you're worried about the registry subkey "IsInstalled" (REG_DWORD) value, go back to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ActiveSetup\Installed Components\"89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383> and change the value back to 1, even though the Microsoft Support article said that to stop the Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on this system. Setup cannot continue. the value should be set to 0.

I can't use the back arrow more than twice in a row without having IE6 close. Java can't update, and I can't copy or paste or use my email tools from Charter. It does crazy things like bring up infinite search windows from time to time (until I manually turn the computer off). I have to delete my temporary files manually, the buttons don't have any results under Internet Options. My FTP site is not accessible. IE6 is closing increasingly, yet I have less trouble with software than I've ever had before. Morrowind is a CDTer and most people get anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour of play before a CDT, but I can play for hours. The problems are all centered around this IE6 rollback from IE7. All my virus scans are negative, as well as searching for rootkits. This IE6 never did work as it was supposed to...I can't get rid or it unless I start over, and I don't have the time! Who does?

I don't remember changing from IE6 to IE7, but I noticed that IE was different than it used to be. It must have been one of those updates I clicked on. I seldom use it. I just removed IE7 and I have IE6 back. I didn't know that's what had happened to the way fonts look on some websites. They now look like they used to on this site and on eBay. I never knew why their appearance changed slightly a while back.

Play fine for me in firefox. When I click the link in firefox windows media player opens and plays the video. Is your computer using windows media player or do you have another? If nothing else works get this extension: IE View Lite. Install the extension then go to the page in firefox, right click on the page and select view this page in ie. From then on when you go to that page in firefox it will open in internet explorer and you can see the videos.

The difference between success and failure could still be the browsers. IE is more intensive on resources than FF. If you feel like experimenting do a C-A-D and end everything but Explorer and System Tray. Then try IE and shutdown. What brand is the system? HP at one time had a sound driver/Win98 conflict with shutdown. You might want to try the Windows 98 Help search word "troubleshoot" (sans quotes). Without going out to the garage to verify, my recollection is there is a Startup and Shutdown troubleshooter in Win98. Also, my recollection is SFC will identify changed and corrupt files, but unless you can find the specific file in the Windows .inf folder you will need a Win98 disk to extract it from to repair. All over the map here, just trying to come up with an answer. DA

Presumably the panel you have on it is the same as the original. Keybuttons to access diagnostics functions are different on the various panels. -- Machine turned off. Press/hold Auto Dry Down, then press Power at the same time. Release both when the panel activates. Press Power to exit diagnostics. Or disconnect the power cord for several seconds. There are several levels of diagnostics. Most of them are for engineering development and factory testing, not useful for operational troubleshooting. Auto Dry Up and Down buttons switch between levels. Initial is level 0. -- Last Fault is level 3. Press Auto Dry Up three times. Fault code is displayed in binary via the Drying Progress LEDs. There are 22 fault codes so I'll list them in following reply. -- Sensor bars test is level 5. Press Auto Dry Up two more times. Or exit Diagnostics, start over, and press it five times. Touch a damp cloth or your fingers across the sensor bars, the pattern of LEDs on the panel should change as moisture is registered and then dissipates when the bars are not touched. There is a Data Download mode for use with an optical reader tool. I imagine you don't have one ... but it's accessed by entering diagnostic mode and pressing the Regular cycle button. The reader is placed at the red Auto Sensing LED. There is a Showroom Mode, which flashes the panel LEDs randomly to attract attention in a store display. Cycles can presumably be set but the machine won't start. Disconnect the power cord or toggle the breakers off to exit Showroom Mode.

babel on here for a second because my right eye isnt working because its past my bedtime... see im babbling

was the ie6 version number 6.0.2900.2180 ?
its down in windows/ie7 folder. not that that makes sense but there it is.

If i wanted to go back to original ie6 and was having not much luck think i might start getting rid of what i could find ie, before finally doing a clear dllcache folder, prefetch folder, and run RegSeeker...
maybe first look in the .inf folder for signs of ie.

Then pop in xpsp2 cd when it asks for the windows cd to repopulate the dllcache.

But I'd also relize I might break it nessitating a full repair install (spelling obviously wrong, cant read the suggested)

When I booted up today my computer told me IE6 was no longer on my hard drive ...did I want to save my settings?...sure! I don't want to look em' all up again.

Enthusiastic and with bated breath I went to the Microsoft IE6 download page...and it told me that a "newer version of IE6 was installed on my computer ... etc" and Randy my damn value is set to Zero. Honest. I'm so worried about my huge temporary internet files not being able to dump...I downloaded IE7. Even when my computer tells me I do not have IE6, Microsoft will not let me download it. I guess I'm stuck with IE7.

Changing the value from 1 to 0 had no effect with Microsoft concerning my IE6. I double and triple checked it. My own computer doesn't think its there. I probably should not have saved my settings. This has been just too weird. They want me to have IE 7 so I got it.

Keep in mind that I know just enough to be dangerous. I have IE7 and it has a few glitches, but I'm going to keep it. The techs who set up my computer tried to talk me into keeping 6, and I have no opinion one way or the other if they were right or not. But...they told me I could roll back to 6 if I wanted....but you also have to go in and uninstall the IE 7 updates that have been downloaded on your computer...you probably already knew this, but I did get that from reading what you had written...this might be a help and it might not, but it just came to mind as I was reading about your woes....not even sure if I worded it right :o)

Thanks...but I don't how the world my own computer perceived IE6 removed and Microsoft did not. It has been a very problematic rollback. It has not been fun. It has been getting worse. When I couldn't manually remove my temporary files with the delete key without constant CDTs. I went back with IE 7 out of fear. I can clean out my cookies and temp files and not crash to the destop every five minutes. IE7 is dammn slow, devil or deep blue sea. The time I spent crashing to desktop I now spend loading, loading, loading, loading. I sing it to a tune. And I have 5 meg cable. Loading, loading, loading.
