It would be right to delete the file, as its still there somewhere. Try deleting IE6 and the upgrading IE4. I would have thought that IE6 tried to upgrade IE4 itself. Sometimes the default settings of the installer is recommended. raddersnz	raddersnz (684)

It can be uncoupled from the OS, by going to Win98 Lite, but then you are more or less back at Win95. I couldnt see the point of Win98 Lite except to disprove what MS were claiming, but have to admit it was when IE4 was current that I last tried it.	Terry Porritt (14)

I have another version of 98lite installed solely for playing games on. Less overhead without IE, therefor theoretically better performance.	loser (538)
