Comment:

I recently got this laptop as a hand me down and it has windows 2000 running IE 5. I am trying to install a Linksys wireless card into it and windows is telling me I need IE 5.5 or higher.
I downloaded IE 6 from Microsoft and when I run it it says, "A previous installation has pending work requiring a reboot. You need to restart your computer to complete that installation befor running IE setup. Setup will now close."
I rebooted and it still gives me the same error. Is there a way to get rid of that installation?

Search for ieplore.exe and see how many versions are there.

Or even go into Add/Remove programs and remove all previous IE's.

Try this:

1. Go in to the Registry and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager
2. Locate and delete any "PendingFileRenameOperations" values in the key.
3. Click "Yes" when prompted to delete.
4. Quit registry and run Internet Explorer 6 Setup.
