Hola, Jan :)
I followed some of your suggestions. And I did them in the
following order.
1) The IE SP1 patch was probably removed from the URL you
had. However, I downloaded one called "OE6.0sp1-KB837009-
x86-ENU.exe" and installed it in safe mode. Installation
went ok.
2) After deleting cache and history, I checked to see if I
had any oemxx... but only have ONE and I left it in the
system.
3) I created a new folder where I moved the uninstall
files, and installed again IE6. There was a warning saying
that all the components were the lastest updated, and
recommended not to install again. Even so, I installed
again. Then I tried to run the same patch that I had ran
before the reinstall, but a warning reading... "This
update requires Outlook Express 6.0 Service pack 7 to be
installed" ... prevented me to re-install it. It seems
there is an upadate that I have to lfind and reinstall
before I can re-install again that patch.
Even so, something must have worked, because IE runs now
faster after trying brownsing trhough some sites. I hope
stays longer this way.
So Jan, this is, for now, the end of the story! Thanks so
much again for your guidance and if you have any
suggestions about which patches need to be replaced,
please let me know.
Rocio :)
