Internet Explorer
I have Internet Explorer 6 SP1 installed on a Windows 98 SE operating system and it is causing a lot of problems.
I recently read that IE 5.5 SP2 works a lot better with Windows 98. After Downloading 5.5, when I tried to set up I get the message that there is a newer version installed and Set Up cannot continue. I tried to remove IE 6.2 but the Removal Tool does not permit that. When I went to Windows Explorer I found a folder Internet Explorer but I don't know if I can just delete all files or what. Can someone give some tips on how to get rid of 6.2 and install 5.5. Thanks in advance

You should be able to remove IE6 using add/remove programs.

Thanks GLC
I tried that - add / remove programs - but nothing happened so I don't know what is wrong.

Still can't change IE 6.2 to IE 5.5
I have Internet Explorer 6 SP1 installed on a Windows 98 SE operating system and it is causing a lot of problems.
I recently read that IE 5.5 SP2 works a lot better with Windows 98. After Downloading 5.5, when I tried to set up I get the message that there is a newer version installed and Set Up cannot continue. I tried to remove IE 6.2 but the Removal Tool does not permit that. When I go to Add / Remove it only gives the options "add a component" or "Repair" there is no removal option. I need to get rid of 6.2 so I can install 5.5 and just maybe not have my computer crash 3 times a day When I went to Windows Explorer I found a folder Internet Explorer but I don't know if I can just delete all files or what. Can someone give some tips on how to get rid of 6.2 and install 5.5. Thanks in advance |

Please don't start a new thread on the same problem. Keep it all in one. I merged them together.
