Hi there,

I am running Windows XP and experiencing trouble with IE
6.X. I tried to uninstall/reinstall IE but have not have
any luck. Details are stated below:

-Uninstall: I have deleted it using the Control Panel
(Add/Remove Programs) of XP and it no longer appears on the
menu now

-Reinstall: When I try to reinstall IE, I get a message
during the setup that the latest version is already
installed.

I guess for some reason IE is still running in the
background on my computer. And, it seems to crash every
time it is launched by an application (e.g. Checking email
using MSN, Clicking on a hyperlink with an Outlook email
message, Automatic Popups etc.)

Kindly email your advice to (e-mail address removed)

Thanks for your help Best regards,

Roger
