| 147902 | 2003-05-27 05:32:00 | Hi peeps, I just got my computer back from being fixed. For some reason, my IE was changed back to version 5.5, so I tried to download the update to IE6 SP1 (the only one available as far as I know). It downloads OK, but when it installs, it fails time after time, always around 92%. I have tried turning off Norton before installing, as well as Webshots and MSN Messenger, but nothing helps. Anyone know why? And since getting my computer back, when I start up an error pops up after windows is loaded, saying "Error in C:\Windows\System\NVCpl.dll, missing entry: NVStartup". Everything works fine, all programs (including Unreal Tournament) still work, it's just annoying to have this come up all the time. I have a suspicion I will have to download the Nvidia drivers again, just to confirm I posted this. Thanks in advance! |

Did your PC have a software problem i.e., Windows was corrupt, that required a OS Refresh (not full reinstall) to be done? My ME machine had a similar problem when I attempted a Refresh of the OS, it reverted back to IE5.5, but the system was convinced that it still had IE6 and therefore refused to install/update to IE6 again. It used to get part way through installing files and then you could see 0% was being unpacked even through the progress bar kept moving. Is this your situation? |

| 147904 | 2003-05-27 20:05:00 | Yeah. What can be done about it? Thanks in advance! | Maarten (2753) | ||
| 147905 | 2003-05-28 06:51:00 | Hmmm .... you are not going to like this, but the only thing that I could find that would fix my persistant IE5.5/6 problem was a complete reformat and reinstall of the OS. Then you can upgrade to IE6 with no problems. Just doing a "Refresh" of the OS obviously leaves left over strays belonging to IE6, which in turn prevents any further upgrading from 5.5 to 6. I posted this problem on PF1 about 2 years ago initially, and no one then came up with a cure for it, hence the reformat I resorted to. Maybe now someone has an alternative work-around for it? Jen |

| 147906 | 2003-05-28 07:37:00 | NVCPL is the nVidia Control Panel... Basically it means you're going to have to download the latest Detonator Drivers from nvidia.com and install those :-) I would also suggest you use a different browser for the mean time until you get around to formatting, Mozilla Firebird is an excellent browser! |

| 147908 | 2003-05-29 01:32:00 | One other thing before you reformat Have you tried reinstalling your OS over the top???? |

| 147909 | 2003-05-29 09:06:00 | No, haven't tried yet. Does it leave all my apps and files intact? | Maarten (2753) | ||
| 147910 | 2003-05-29 09:25:00 | I am confused Maarten - when I asked earlier in the thread, you agreed that a System Refresh had already been performed . This is what reinstalling the OS over the top is (Repair = Refresh) . All you personal documents are left intact and just the OS is reloaded . This is what led to my issue with IE5 . 5/6 . What part of the computer was fixed by the computer shop then? |

| 147911 | 2003-05-29 20:07:00 | It could have been done - my dad didn't really answer when I asked that was done with it - I am not really sure. | Maarten (2753) | ||
