| 91327 | 2002-10-21 06:52:00 | I have a hp pavilion and run windows me The other day I installed IE6 over 5.5 off the netguide cd well it would not connect the next day so I went to add/remove and tried to repair it and it said it could not repair it as it did not have all the files so I done a system restore for 2 days earlier and that worked but it would still not repair so I reinstalled it off the net today but now it says "it appears you have the correct setup files but the installation failed try closing down all other programes and try running setup again" well i did this then i restarted and done it again plus i went to the extreme and went to c/alt/del and closed everything except explorer and system tray and done it again and still the same message can anyone help is it IE6 or my computer |

| 91328 | 2002-10-21 06:56:00 | Hi luckysmum Small tip: you don't need to post twice, you sometimes have to wait a while for a reply - it depends who's around at the moment. Posting twice also causes confusion when different people reply to both your threads and don't realise what has already been suggested. Good luck with a solution. Jen |

| 91330 | 2002-10-21 07:13:00 | Looking back on your previous problems may suggest that it could be a problem with Windows itself. IE6 doesnt take kindly to being uninstalled sometimes as well. Have you considered backing up all your data (off the PC onto CD if you have a writer) and re-installing the system? I note you have a HP model, they come with a restore CD (or CDs). Before you think too hard about it, it is a simple process but you will lose all settings and programs you have installed, it will be just like it was when it came from the shop. Another tip, if you could use punctuation in your posts, as without capitalisation and full stops, even when you read it 3 times it is hard to come to grips with. This could be why you are not getting a lot of replies. |
