How do I reinstall ie6?

[BobV]

Unfortunately my browser was hijacked by Incredifind. Using directions I
found on the net I was able to remove it, but it left me a browser that only
gives me the -- can't display page-- message.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall IE using regedit with no luck. I
also reinstalled XP as an upgrade with no luck. I downloaded a new copy of
IE6 from the net and installed also with no success. I was able install XP
on another partition, and this works fine. I am now using Netscape (Ugh) as
my browser on my original partition, but am not all that happy with either
of the two solutions.

I have spent considerable time searching on the net including MS Knowledge
Base with no fix.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Buck

Thanks Will, but I had tried all of this with no luck.

I would try to replace the appropriate files if I only knew what and where
they were.

Hi Buck

Another way to reinstall IE is with a 'Repair' install - but you will lose
all your Windows Updates:

Hi,

Try another way to reinstall IE:
Copy and paste the following line to the Start > Run prompt, it will
try to reinstall IE and the routine will need the XP CD:

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %systemroot%\inf\ie.inf

You might need to direct the program to the folders
Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 and Windows\System32\dllcache

Hope this helps

Yeah, I found that one, but it didn"t help at all.

Any more ideas?

Thanks, Buck
