I use IE 6.x SP1 for browsing with no problem. However, recently, I cannot download anything from the internet. I, either, get a blank page with a little icon box or or I get redirected.
I'm using Win98SE and have clicked on the "add-remove programs" icon in the control panel to uninstall Internet Explorer but the only option is to "repair" the browser. I tried this "repair" utility twice but still could not download.
Next, I tried a new install of IE6 from my DSL installation cd without uninstalling the old Internet Explorer. Same result: no downloading possible.
I searched my computer for "uninstall" software, hoping that I would have better luck with a fresh installation after removal but cannot find any "uninstall" program for IE.
Should I just ask someone to download another browser for me like Mozilla or Netscape and forget about this microsoft trash? Any suggestions? Thanks.
