Count your blessings that IE7 didn't install and don't try installing it
again.

That's what I use. The only time I use IE6 is for Windows Update.

Hi there,

For windows update you can use firefox as well.

Go to tools, user agent switcher and choose ie 6.

There is no "user agent switcher" under tools. I am running FF2.

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

[And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx as the installation source,
not Automatic/Windows Update.]
