Uninstall / Reinstall Internet Explorer 6
How do I uninstall Internet Explorer so I can reinstall
it? I am having a problem. When using Internet Explorer, I receive the following message: "An error hasoccurred in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer will now close. If you continue to experience problems, please restart your computer." I have restarted the computer many times, and still the same message. I want to uninstall the program and reinstall hoping that I clean up whatever problem I have. But, I find no way to uninstall IE. I have tried to install IE6 (over the current installation since I cannot remove it) from the CD I used to install it originally, but receive the following message: "Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on this system. Setup cannot continue." I have done no updates since the original installation. Don't know how this could be. I just don't know what to do next. Noted: I have had serious virus problems that I am working through. But, so far, IE has worked fine til this afternoon. Also, IE seems to run fine in 'Safe Mode'. |
