I recently reformatted my HD and reinstalled XP Home, which includes IE6, and my other programs. I downloaded IE7 and went thru the validation and installation process, and rebooted. Everything looked fine. However, when I opened up IE, I still have IE6. I repeated the installation procedure with the same results. I checked My Computer\Local Disk\Program File\Internet Explorer, and sure enough, it showes IE6. BTW - the installation created an Internet Explorer Troubleshooting shortcut on my desktop. When I click on it, it takes me to Page Cannot Be Displayed. I have reformatted in the past, installed the same programs, and never had a problem upgrading to IE7. Can anyone offer a solution?
