(re-posting it just to make sure)
Well, recently at my work we bought a new application
which will work only on IE5.5 (unfortunately ): )
There seems to be no way i can get back to original OS
install, since the SP's have been installed with "Do Not
Archive" option. After install n remove of SP3, i couldnt
install either SP1 or SP2. Right now im installing Win2k
OS as an upgrade.
Thanks
Shree
