287018 2004-11-03 07:35:00 Are you saying that you do not have the option to remove any programs other than Windows ones?

You should have in control panel - add/remove programs, double click it, there are options listed on the left hand side of the resulting window which allow you to choose what you want to do next, which would be to press the top option - change or remove programs, whereupon you choose to uninstall IE6 and when you do an option will be presented to repair it.

287019 2004-11-03 09:40:00 Hi, yup, I see the windows app like Photoshop, MS Office etc.. but there appears no listing for Internet Explorer. Other than going via the other entry of windows components which messes around with the icons on the desktop and the start menu.

I'll have a look of that link, thanks Phoenix.
I reinstalled IE 6 from the CD appears the right click, open in new window is not back working. Maybe that was when I installed those 2 security software when I was trying to disable the features to see if it would roll back (which was unsuccesful).

Now that is better, I am still having ActiveX issues. :(

287021 2004-11-03 09:49:00 BUMP.

Phoenix, that link was for WinXP. I am on win2k pro.
I did a google search trying to uninstall IE and they got this to say:
Reapplying the service pack, you know how long that took me to download via Windows Update (?!).

SYMPTOMS
Updated versions of Internet Explorer are not listed in the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel after you install a Microsoft Windows 2000 service pack.
WORKAROUND
If you need to uninstall Internet Explorer, uninstall the Windows 2000 service pack, uninstall Internet Explorer by using the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel, and then reapply the Windows 2000 service pack.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.

287022 2004-11-03 09:56:00 RE: Microsoft's great advice, uninstalling service pack is not listed under my control panel. I think SP4 may be not possible to be uninstalled. nomad (3693)
287023 2004-11-03 10:01:00 Sorry about that, must have missed the windows version.

I was just thinking while reading the thread, that maybe it might be time to try out Firefox as your browser :D

Man that IE can cause some headaches. I admire your persistance.

287024 2004-11-03 10:10:00 Hey, now this is strange. The CDRW is LPT style. If you jack open the case you could fit a HDD inside and run external as via a parallel port enclosure.

So earlier today I popped the PC's HDD into this enclosure and it works fine. Now I pop the CDRW back in its own case (enclosure) it does not power up. Ah! The drive is dead as the enclosure works fine with the hdd.

But no, cos this cdrw when put into my old 200mhz PC works and actually reads a CD. What is this cliffhanger :D
