IE+internet=problems

[Danny]

Hello... again...
A few days ago I posted a message regarding some problems
with IE 6 on Win2000 advance server. (Brief story: I
Installed IE 6 and everything OK. After I downloaded and
installed SP1 and q824145 + Q831167 + Q832894 all together
I noticed that some sites are warning me about my too old
version of IE. Especially, the Yahoo mail doesn't aloud me
to see mails. It says that my browser is to old and
suggests to download IE6 or Netscape 7.1 or Safari...) I
uninstalled all "Q's", then SP1 and then IE6, so I worked
with IE5 witch is the 2000 server default IE browser.
Still, I have the some problems... I tried to install
Netscape 7.1 and Opera 7.51, but the message is the same.
My nerves are exploding... I don't know what to do to
access again YahooMail... Any suggestion?????? PLEASE!!!!

No exact answer other than to say that unless you disabled all AV protection
when downloading and installing IE6, that could be the reason for the
problem. Windows Updates are very "twitchy" when it comes to downloading and
installation.
