HELP PLEASE..trouble with ie6 & me..can't open web pages!

Hi,

I am working on a friends computer.

He is running Windows ME

Hasn't been able to go on the web for a few months.

I cannot uninstall & restore old I.E.

I Cannot get to Update to re-install, because I.E. is not working.

I tried to reinstall from safe mode & selective start up (Load static Vxd's
only)

nothing works!

Is there a way (link) I can download I.E. 6 and all its components onto a CD
from my computer (I am running Win98) and take it to his computer to
reinstall that way?

If so, when I get to that point, should I reinstall in safe mode?

If not....what do I do...I am completely baffled!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Thanks,

Laura

Try BHODemon. You may have a faulty Browser Helper Object.

http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

I also suggest the following....

Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)
Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Delete Files

Dump the contents of the Mozilla FireFox Cache { if you use FireFox }
Tools --> Options --> Privacy --> Cache --> Clear


Download CLEAN.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/clean.exe

It is a self-extracting ZIP file that contains the Kixtart Script Interpreter
{ http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare } three batch files, two Kixtart scripts, two Link
(.lnk) files and a PDF instruction file.

GETFILES.BAT -- For downloading (FTP) the files needed to run the McAfee Command Line
Scanner. You may have to disable your FireWall or allow FTP.EXE to go through your FireWall
to allow the FTP utility to download the needed files

CLEAN.BAT -- For running within Windows after running c:\mcafee\GetFiles.BAT. If you choose
to scan again at a future date, run this batch file. It will automatically check the date
of the McAfee DAT files and if it is a couple of days old, it will download (FTP) the latest
signature files and install them before performing the scan.

DOSCLEAN.BAT -- For use on a Win9x/ME PC or on a Win2K/WinXP PC that is using FAT32 after
you have booted from an Emergency Boot Disk or DOS disk and have already executed;
c:\mcafee\GetFiles.BAT from within Windows. DOS disk boot images can be obtained from;
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

I need you to perform the following...

Execute; CLEAN.EXE
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; c:\mcafee\GetFiles.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'GetFiles Link' in c:\mcafee }

Reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot]

Shutdown as many applications as possible !
It would also help for you to read - "How to perform a clean boot in Windows XP"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353

Execute; c:\mcafee\CLEAN.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the
end of the scan, it will be displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer).
It is suggested that you move the report out of c:\mcafee before performing another scan.
It would be a good idea to scan in Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.

Such symptoms are frequently the result of mistakenly attempting to
reinstall ME over itself without first reverting back to IE5.5 - the
resulting 'Version Soup' is almost impossible to repair, and the only sure
way known is to completely remove IE and then reinstall whichever version
you require.

Instructions for this process are here

Please post back if you need more details - preferably before attempting the
process!!<g>

Hi,

Thanks for the help...one more question...probably a stupid one, but I'm
getting punchy from trying so many things!

Like I said before, I have Win98...friend has ME, (and can't download
anything, because ...well...because he can't) So, I downloaded IE6 for ME to
my desktop, along with everything else on your list....I'm going to copy it
to a CDRW, and then on to his computer...

I'm assuming this will work....If I'm wrong, please let me know...quickly,
since I'm trying this tomorrow!

P.S. Your link on "uninstalling & reinstalling IE" to download ie6 for
ME...is really a link for XP!...(not to worry, I found what I was looking for
anyways..just thought you might want a heads up)


Thanks again....(P.S.) Dave's info was very different from yours, but I
really do believe this is a broken browser issue...I guess if this doesn't
work, I'll try that(thanks Dave)

It should work fine, Laura - Good Luck!

I'm aware that the instructions for downloading are XP-centric, but they do
also work for ME (I may have to revise my page a little to make certain this
is understood, and any corrections applied) - thanks for the heads-up.

Hi, Well...I tried, but the browser still isn't browsing!

I did everything on the list except the following:

Uninstall 'goback' (couldn't find it)

I had no problems with anything else, all went smoothe...even fixed some
other issues with the computer...

But when on line I still cannot get web pages to load, including windows
update...so I didn't get to download the repair patch 329115 either...

So....any other suggestions...(I suggested he get rid of ME!)

I can't run restoration disk/format, because he either never got, orlost his
software for ME...

Thanks for all your help so far...

Oh...one other thing....if he decides to upgrade to XP...(from ME) are there
any suggestions or problems that you know of?

The fact that you couldn't find GoBack is no surprise - AFAIAC, it should
never be installed on either Win ME or WinXP, since in effect all it does is
act as a keylogger, and hog CPU and RAM.
(The most common reason that I know for people to have ME and GoBack
installed is that they own a Gateway computer....)

This really does sound now as if you have some networking problem WRT the
Internet - I would suggest posting back to the Internetexplorer group (whom
I've copied in this post - PABear, where are you??<g>)
