| 22309 | 2001-10-22 21:24:00 | I bought a copy of October 2001 PC World and tried installing IE6. It stays on 62% installing. I waited for hours and kept it on through the night, but it still stays on 62%. That led me to thinking that the Installation didn't work properly. But no mattter how many times I try it still doesn't work. Does anybody experience the same problem with me? At the time of installing, I disabled my antivirus, closed my firewall, multimedia keyboard agent, everything except for the update itself (I downloaded the files on my computer and installed it offline after). Thanks. |

Make sure that you use the file in the browsers/ie/flat/en directory or something along the lines of that. Good Luck JM |

| 22311 | 2001-10-23 06:57:00 | Yeah I use the one on the FLAT\EN\ folder. It still requires you to download the whole thing from the Net. I did this fine. But the whole installation thing stops midway. | Guest (0) | ||
| 22312 | 2001-10-23 20:02:00 | Try being connected to the internet while you install. I reinstalled IE6 yesterday after a format and when it got to around 62% (that's what made me think of it - the same number) it auto-dialled the net to check something (don't know what) and then it continued. Hope this helps! | Guest (0) | ||

| 22314 | 2001-10-28 03:08:00 | I also had the same problem so I downloaded from nzcity in the end because I could not find the correct setting on the CD. Takes a while though about 2 hours I think, I now have trouble with it crashing all the time with a message to send to microsoft if I want, so far today though it has only crashed once in just over an hour on the internet.
