Will Windows ME Replace I.E 6.0?
Can anyone tell me if when upgrading to Windows ME from
Windows 98 via a download from Micrsoft, will Win ME replace I.E. 6.0,SP1 with the earlier I.E. 5.5 or will it reconise I.E. 6.0 as a higher version and leave it alone ? I need this information before I upgrade to Windows ME as my PC does not have the speed, Hard Drive Space or mmemory to run Windows XP Home Edition. |

You need to uninstall IE6 before upgrading since, as you suspect, Win Me
will try and install IE5.5 on upgrading. If you don't uninstall IE6 you will have a bit of a version soup and be destined to have problems. Once you have got Win Me installed you can then reinstall IE6 SP1. You will also need to uninstall Windows Media Player 9 if you have this installed as Win Me will install WMP7. Again you can upgrade to WMP9 once you have Win Me running OK. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP [2001-2005] J.Bowen wrote: Can anyone tell me if when upgrading to Windows ME from Windows 98 via a download from Micrsoft, will Win ME replace I.E. 6.0,SP1 with the earlier I.E. 5.5 or will it reconise I.E. 6.0 as a higher version and leave it alone ?
