I run dial-up and it takes about 1:15 to download a 25MB file. Go for it, your alternative is to reload the OS. Oh, I'm getting 40,000bps so with your slow connect rate it might be 2:00.

Ok, THIS is bizarre. I copied IE from my laptop to a CD so I could copy it to the other machine. I renamed the old iexplore.exe to iexplore.exe.bak on the desktop "just in case" I wanted to go back. By the time I tried to copy the NEW version from the laptop, another copy iexplore.exe was already there even though the .bak one was there, too. AND it was an OLDER version.

I swear to all that's holy this PC is possessed. :banghead:

Popping the cork on the bottle of wine NOW... :burning: lol

When Larry's computer bugged out, he beat it up. It didn't fix the problem, but he seemed to feel better afterward :shrug:

Oh, believe me, if I could I would. But it's going to someone else shortly :wink: and I'd have to pay for it out of pocket to get a new one.

So I'll just drown my sorrows :alkies: and hope for the best. :lmao:

I had the same problem with AIM on the desktop. Never DID get it to work. I think the Dr. may need to make a housecall to ME too. :wink:

I'll ask the Dr. to call you. :huggy:

Wait just a fine minute here!??! I thought you told me long ago, that you were the top geek of this bunch?

A 'lil old thing like IE6 has got you baffled? :lol:

C'mon girl, stick a cable in the nearest USB port, run it through an adapter for a Firewire connector; replug it into an available Firewire port and fry that thing! :lmao:

Whatever is blocking IE6 from running will be toast!

I never claimed to be the top PC geek. I work on database systems. :razz:

Ok, IE6 Service Pack 1 has been installed and NO CHANGE. :jet:

I wonder how many glasses are in this bottle? Maybe I should have gotten two. :drunk:

Average? Around 2 - 4, depending if you're using a mason jar or flute(sp?)

Hang in there; maybe something will hit you like a "bolt from the blue"! :lol: ...:huggy:

Not where you think it is Mr. Nasty Brain :lol: Remember me? Ms. Wino? I know my wine glasses also and you don't drink wine from a flute. A flute is shaped that way for champagne. Now get your mind outta the gutter and back in computer help mode. :razz: :razz:
