I've rolled the computer back to XP from Vista using the software
provided by the manufacturer.

One problem I have is XP came with IE7 installed and doesn't seem to have
an option to roll back to IE6 in add/remove. I don't like IE7 for a lot
of reasons. One of which is I want menu items I use a lot such as
refresh on the toolbar. Another is I can't unpin favorites and auto hide
it etc. Another is the menu bar dissapears when I do full screen auto
hide and I can't move them around and stick all the bars on the same bar
etc. Is it possible to do so as I have the IE6 and IE6 sp2 download?

Next question is, for some odd reason the wireless connection at startup
says it's connected, yet it isn't. I have to right click the task bar
icon and choose repair connection, after that it's fine. What can I do
to fix this?




Thanks, finally someone with a real answer to a question instead of
nonsense. To the others, if you don't have an answer why do you bother
posting, as your not helping anyone. If I wanted to install a bunch of
third party applications to get a damned web browser to do what I want it
to, instead of what some marketing drone's and a bunch of egomaniacal
programmers at Microsoft who can't stop messing with a good thing deemed
optimal, I'd install Firefox.

Looks as if I'll need to do the second option on that web page, I have I.E.
SP2 and Windows XP SP3, so that shouldn't be a problem.

The laptop is a Sony VGN-Z610Y and I've disabled Sony's Wireless
configuration application as well as Intel's wireless app. to let Windows
manage it, as I've found when you have more than one application fighting to
control the wireless chip it causes even more problems. At startup, Windows
says it's connected and the connection is excellent, however I have no
internet access till I right click and choose repair at which point IP
config is just releasing and renewing the IP address. A weird problem that
has usually been solved in the past on other machines by letting windows
handle the wireless configuration. Any ideas?
