Re: HELP PLEASE..trouble with ie6 & me..can't open web pages!

Hi,

Thanks for the help...one more question...probably a stupid one, but I'm
getting punchy from trying so many things!

Like I said before, I have Win98...friend has ME, (and can't download
anything, because ...well...because he can't) So, I downloaded IE6 for ME to
my desktop, along with everything else on your list....I'm going to copy it
to a CDRW, and then on to his computer...

I'm assuming this will work....If I'm wrong, please let me know...quickly,
since I'm trying this tomorrow!

P.S. Your link on "uninstalling & reinstalling IE" to download ie6 for
ME...is really a link for XP!...(not to worry, I found what I was looking for
anyways..just thought you might want a heads up)


Thanks again....(P.S.) Dave's info was very different from yours, but I
really do believe this is a broken browser issue...I guess if this doesn't
work, I'll try that(thanks Dave)
