Re: Reinstall IE6 in W2000

Don -

Just to clarify and confirm, KB318378 refers to XP.

Fixing the machine running W2000 is priority one as the accountant uses it
(his secretary uses the XP Home machine).

Do I correctly understand the fixes we are discussing here (KB318378 and IE6
reinstall) may be applied to both XP and W2000?

Thank you.

Tom

Hi,
Am I missing some cogent point here?

No. Go for the reinstall. You've looked at the most common problem areas.

Don -

Appreciate your comment on KB318378.

Yes, have cleared the cookies, history, TIF's, and checked the HOSTS
file.

Also have flushed the dnscache and edited the nameservers in the router
setup and in IP properties.

Still cannot access the one site and it is necessary because the user is
an
accountant and needs access to the site.

One of the other machines (it is running XP home) on the same network is
also unable to access the etax.dor.ga.gov website through IE6 but can
access
the site through Mozilla Firefox - makes me more suspicious that the IE6
configuration has somehow been trashed (maybe in running adware/spyware
cleaners?) and is the reason I am pursuing a reinstall of IE6.

Am I missing some cogent point here?

Thanks.

Tom

Hi,
See this section "Windows XP and Windows XP SP1: Edit the registry and
install Internet Explorer 6" of this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=318378 You will
probably
have
to make that registry edit to reinstall IE6.

But, if only having trouble with one site, have you...
Cleared cookies, history and theTemporary Internet Files?
Checked for a HOSTS file? http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

Have one machine running IE6 under W2000 SP4 that is unable to
access
www.etax.dor.ga.gov. Other machines running IE6 under W2000 SP4 on
same
network can access www.etax.dor.ga.gov. Have reviewed settings in
IE6
and
still no access to www.etax.dor.ga.gov on the problem machine.
Would
like
to reinstall IE6 without reinstalling the OS. Appears I can
download
IE6
SP-1 at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx. Hopefully
the
reinstall will "overwrite" a damaged / corrupted file in IE6 and
resolve
the
problem. Appreciate any comments or suggestions before proceeding.
Thanks.
