If you can't uninstall it through add/remove programs, you can always use Start/Find, type in Internet Explorer and delete all the folders that come up. After that you must also find these files and delete them before you can install any other version of IE. ATHENA.INF, INETMAIL.INF, MOS.INF, MSINFO.INF,OHARE.INF, and SETUP.INF

Oh, that's a pretty dumb suggestion. Hey, JackD, ever heard of a "little" something called the Registry. Look into it.

i am finding that Microsoft refuses to help, and that if you have Win95 the only way to solve this is to reinstall your operating system with Ie version 3. Then download version 5.01 and pray. If you have win98, I have no idea yet what to do

I ran across this article on Microsoft's site. It explains how to manually uninstall IE 5 for Win95 -- I haven't tried it out yet:
