Hi,
If the majority of IE5 is still installed on the machine, except for a few
files, have you tried uninstalling IE5 that is currently on there.? and then
try reinstalling?. If this works it would remove all the IE5 files and
associations & may allow you to reinstall in full.
It's certainly worth a try if you have not already done so.
Cheers.
Joshua Bell.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Reinstalling IE5.5
Hello everyone.
I have been entrusted by my elderly father to "fix" his PC. It is a
Celeron 533, with
64 meg RAM, a 10 gig or so HDD, running Win95.
He had started off only wanting to run DOS on it, then relented to
install Win3.11/DOS 6.22, then finally agreed to try Win95 as none of
his old DOS stuff would work properly as the processor was just too
fast.
During all this, the sound and display disappeared, well, no sound, and
only 16 colours on Display. I fixed all that, but somehow I managed to
lose a few critical IE5.5 files, so IExplorer will not work.
I assumed I could just reinstall it, BUT I keep getting a message that
the install routine detects IE5 is already installed, and won't proceed.
I then tried to install a previous version, and then hopefully upgrade,
but it won't let me do this either..
Does anyone have any suggestions? I dare not format and start again, as
a backup of that size is beyond me.
Thankyou
Anne Smith
