Okay, PA... (don't ever get on the wrong side of a bear!)

You're not the first OneCare user to encounter this problem and you probably
won't be the last.

Did you install OneCare before or after you installed IE7?

After


Prior to installing OneCare, you're supposed to uninstall your current
anti-virus application and third-party firewall (if any) via Add/Remove
Programs. Did you do so? Were any of them Norton or McAfee applications?

Yes, AVG and Zone Alarm were uninstalled; before AVG I used Norton, but
it was uninstalled (plus I went into the registry and deleted all Norton
stuff).

Has a Norton and/or McAfee application *ever* been installed on the machine
since you purchased it?

Yes. See above


I think I'll just leave KB942615 update hidden; I've wasted hours and
hours trying to make it work, including the registry hack.

What Registry hack?

(I tried this out of desperation.)


I get the 'cannot display...' error message if I try to run either
IE7 or Firefox.

Very odd. If you (1) uninstall IE7 via Add/Remove Programs, (2) reboot
twice, and then (3) install the IE6-version of KB942615, does the behavior
persist?


Do I re-install IE6 or IE7 before installing the IE6 version of
KB942615, or after? I'm ready to try this.
