I recently rolled back internet explorer from version 7 to version 6 as i
did not like it. However since doing this when explore loads it hangs for
about a minute before loading my homepage & then takes a short while to
download pages. i have also noticed that i cannott use system restore before
the date of rollback. i have cleared all temp files,internet cache files etc
to no avail. I have also attempted to reinstall ver 7 by download &
purchasing the disk all appear to install until the end then a big red cross
appears to tell me installation failed. I am running xp sp2. any ideas
please
