93814	2002-10-28 07:00:00	I'm running Win ME with the integrated IE5.5 but when I try to update to IE6 via a PC World CD I get the message "unable to install IE6 because other applications still running" Despite disabling all programs in the start-up box in MS Config and re-trying, still no joy. Because IE5.5 is integrated in WinME, and has no un-install feature, does this mean I have to reformat my HD and try installing Win98 instead ? Also (although un-related) , the restore feature in WinME no longer works despite re-installing WinME. ANY HELPFUL ADVICE ON BOTH ISSUES appreciated.	allanrj (2371)

Yes, it can be quite a big collection to download, but you can do this in smaller chucks by just selecting individual updates to download - start with the oldest first. After my last reinstall, I slowly updated over a couple of nights until I had the full complement. Jen	Jen C (20)
