Can't Launch IE 6.0

[John Buffi]

When I try to launch ie 6.0 it flashes the icon in the task
bar and then quits, I can not launch it. I have tried to
remove IE 6.0 and reinstall - but it won't let me - it
keeps saying I have a newer version installed after
removing it.

HELP!

And did you try any other browsers? if yes, how did they acquit?

i don't know what the problem is, but i'm having the same
problem-- i uninstalled and reinstalled ie and even did a
system restore to before it happened, but it still won't
work-- it's solely a problem w/ ie because other things,
like windows media player online and my juno dialup
connection, both work fine.

I am using Netscape Navigator 7.1 just fine as well as AOL.
My connection is fine, just can't use IE 6.

First, remove any malware.

If that doesn't fix it, the second method in this artcle works on earlier
versions of Windows. Make sure your anti-virus is turned off.
