This is a follow up to my internet problems post.

If I uninstall IE 6 and tell it to revert back, wil it interfere with any other programs? And I need to know, will my outlook express main be safe reverting back?

if you use the uninstall feature at
windows.update.com is the best? way to uninstall ie6.
from what I've read here and other places
that is the way to do it, with the best outcome. with minimal impact to oe.

The internet doesn't work on the computer, hence the uninstalling of IE 6

I uninstalled IE 6 from my Windows ME system and now when I try to boot windows, all it does is go to the desktop screen, flash the start menu for a second and then everything except the desktop image disappears. When I press "ctrl-alt-delete" there aren't any programs to close.

How do I fix this? I tried booting in safe mode and the same thing occurs. I can't re-install windows because if I boot with the boot disc, it doesn't recognize my CD-ROM drive. I can't loose all the info on my computer anyway.

Please help me!!!

Maybe the uninstall threw away the comctl32.dll that comes with internet explorer 6. Since i installed internet explorer6 i get an error in all kinds of programs with comclt32.dll. Indeed bill gates and microsoft are gay!!!
