Greetings Jayne -
Assuming you've logged-in and cookies are enabled? That it doesn't require
scripting, or does, and you've enabled that? Does the MSN Groups page now
work since you've un-installed (reverted to prior version) and re-installed?
Now which "patch/ fix" are you referring to? MSKB article number please?
Moving along, *some* patches get superseded by later patches and /or
cumulative updates. If, when you re-installed IE6 other WU scans revealed
other patches (that does happen as vulnerabilities are uncovered or bugs are
found in the previous patch) they will pre-empt the availability/
applicability of any "in-between" updates.
I had such an instance myself where an update I had prior to an IE6
un-install was no longer re-installable. The wording was identical in two
instances to that which you are experiencing, but MS's wording didn't
clarify that this patch was now "obsolete", having been superseded by a
later cumulative patch.
Installed in my IE6 are the following:
SP1;q313829;Q330994;Q828750;Q818529;Q824145;Q832894;Q837009;Q831167;
Open IE>toolbar>tools>help>about should list all updates installed.
So, we'll need to know if the first problem is still extant, and which patch
(details please) you are referring to.

do: ;-)
Copy and paste the following into your address bar of Google (or whatever).
Active Scripting *must* be enabled for this to work.
JavaScript:navigator.appMinorVersion
Or you can use this link (Scripting must still be enabled)
