Internet Explorer 6 issues on WinXP
TONY: Since you cannot get back thru system restore your
first guess is the best. Uninstall Norton completely and go to McAfee for a trial run. You may well find that is the root of your problem. After all,near anything is better than a full-blown destructive system recovery. Believe me,I've done a non 3 times and a full last weekend. And now the Mfgr. says to physically pull all periferals and do yet another one. Somebody please wish us both luck! -----Original Message----- First of all, thank you to all who post here. I have searched the archives for a resolution to my problem and have not yet been able to dig one up. On my wife's WinXP box, Internet Explorer 6 SP1 has started to be unreliable. Here are some instances: 1) When I go into Help / About IE, there is no version and 2) When I click on OK to close the "About" window, it stays open. 3) I recently installed Norton Internet Security on the box. It seems that NIS uses the version of IE that is installed on the box to display its screens. On each of those screens, when I click on a link to configure the software, I get an IE "page not found" error. 4) I was going to attempt to use System Restore to go back a week or two to see if the problem would disappear and the System Restore window is a blank page. I was given a tip to remove the instances of "hide" in the SYSOC.INF file in Windows / INF to see more applications in Add and Remove Programs window. Once I did this, I was able to revert to my prior IE install but all that did was to remove SP1. I am still at IE 6.0. I was able to find the version number in the registry. If anyone has seen something similar to this or has any ideas whatsoever, I would greatly appreciate some help. Thank you very much. . |
