| 166487 | 2003-08-10 01:48:00 | Yes, make like you want to install it. The setup program detects that you have an existing copy installed and then gives the menu option to repair. | Pheonix (280) | ||

I am not too sure if you can still get SP2, do a search on here to find out where to download it from. |

| 166489 | 2003-08-10 01:59:00 | No i only have IE 5.5, so i guess just cause of that i cant see IE in add/Remov. I tried this from Run box, courtesy of Xtra Helpdesk: rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE5Maintenance "C:Program FilesInternet ExplorerSetupSETUP.EXE" /g "C:WINDOWSIE Uninstall Log.Txt" It came up with IE 5.5 and internet tools but the repair option was grayed out. How can i reinstall IE Phenoix. Do i just go and try normal installation thru MS Website and it will override existing installation. Thankx |

Nope, try reloading windows (over the top) or upgrading to IE 6.0 |

| 166493 | 2003-08-10 02:21:00 | You can download it from here (www.megspace.com) or if you know anyone that keeps the cd's from computer magazines, then it could be found on them. The other alternative, is to get the PC World magazine, and the CD that comes with it has IE6, and you could upgrade to it. |
