Title: I cannot uninstall ie 6
Post by: Linda Thomas on May 23, 2004, 09:59:30 PM

IE 6 has been really messed up page cannot display page will load cannot open links...and so on. Anyway the option to remove IE 6 is grayed out and I get this message-ERROR CREATING PROCESS<IE6WZDEXE/A/S. "C:\PROGRAM FILES/INTERNET EXPLORER/IE6SETUP.EXE">Reason:the system cannot find the file spectified   Is there any way to uninstall this? I have tried to install over itself but it just says I have the latest ver. and will  not install. Repair option is a joke..system file checker does not find anything. Help!  Also says previous internet files are missing-does not say what files they are.

Linda....What happened ...did your p/c contact a virus?
Here's a blurb from Microsoft re uninstalling it ........
Yes it has bugs in it .....but I have two p/c running XP
with IE 6 and "touch wood" have not had any problems .......yet.......but I do make sure I have all the fixes and patches

Anyway here's the link ....

Hi Linda,

My IE6 was mess up too. Go to some website (like hotmail.com and it won't go pass userID passwd page). Im running win98, n was thinking mayb IE6 n win98 not suitable for each other.

As far as I know, IE cannot b downgraded n cannot be uninstalled.

My only solution is to use another broswer: Opera.

Wish u  luck

SKy

try this>http://www.litepc.com/ieradicator.html  or in the add/remove section you could try a ie6 repair but another option is mozilla or avant browsers which are better than ie6
