What if I have XP Service pack 2? What version of Internet Explorer does a person download then? I mean wouldn't the "regular" IE have only Service Pack 1? In that case , I wouldn't want it would I?
I hope this makes sense.
thanks

Here's a question that I hope someone can answer....
I need to re-install IE due to Spyware.
Spybot can't remove the spyware because it keeps saying the problem file is "currently in use." Even when IE is closed. It's still running, of course. So therefore, I need to re-install in hopes this will remove the problems with my current IE. But.......
How to get the re-install if you can't use IE to get on the internet???
This is making me batty. Please help!
Thanks,
Felicia

If you can't get to the internet on this computer, then you'll most likely need to either use another computer to download and burn to CD, or use your installation CDs to re-install.

I attemtped to delete IE by deleting the icons and using the control panel Add/Remove programs.
I now realize that was a big mistake.
What should I do now??
I am not able to remove IE 6, and I can't re-install over it because it says I have a newer verson running...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I didn't see an answer for this particular question.

Depends on your operating system. If Windows XP, run the System File Checker. http://ask-leo.com/what_is_the_system_file_checker_and_how_do_i_run_it.html
