25063 2001-11-21 00:45:00 I installed IE 6 onto my Dell PIII-500 running Windows ME, but found it was too buggy, with randomm error messages appearing. So I decided to unistall it, and revert back to IE 5.5.
But after it automatically restarted, the system stops loading Windows, but doesn't crash. I don't have access to the task bar or the desktop icons, but I can see the wallpaper. Alt-Ctrl-Del works and the only program running is 'Wmexe'.
Does anyone have any ideas to fix this problem without a clean install?

25064 2001-11-21 06:46:00 Hi Timothy.... I had the same problem myself. When you uninstalled IE6, did you do it from Add/Remove? That is how I did mine, and it just reverted back to the previous IE. I would suggest that you download another copy of IE5.5, and if that dosen't fix your problem, I would download the PC Pitstop program (go to Google) It will test run your computer, tell you what the problem is, and do a fix for you. Hope this helps, RINGO Guest (0)
25065 2001-11-21 22:37:00 I did use the add-remove program function, and I can't install IE 5.5 because i don't have access to the task bar/start menu/desktop icons. All I can see is the wallpaper... (By the way, I'm using a different PC to write this) Guest (0)
