Hi, I need some help with active desktop. Is there any way to install it if I have ie5.5? The only solution I can find is to format my disk and install ie 4.0 first. Please reply or send me e-mail at mobcrew@hotmail.com

Thank you.

Are you sure that you really want 'Active Desktop'? I can't think of a good reason to use it.

So far, that's about the only way I've found to get it installed. Install IE4.0, then install IE 5.5 on top, that way Active desktop will be installed. I've fought with this one for weeks in Technet and the genereal web and that is the only solution I've found.
