Hey :D

I have something weird going on with my XP Pro :
When i load the win update a get a white window that tells me
” thank you for your interest in win update. Win update helps you to enjoy your computer as much as you can…. in a matter to be able to use win update you nee to have a Windows OS”

and when i try to open “my inbox” from the msn messenger shortcut i get another window

“The navigator installed on your OS is going to limit your acces to Hotmail, you are currently using a navigator that hotmail doesn t support, if you keep using it hotmail may not work properly. We advice you to update your sofware to IE 6”
i have the choice between 2 click “dl IE” or “continue to use hotmail”

I can t post a print screen because i have a french windows so it won t help i just roughly translated it..

I have IE 6.0.2800.11.06 so what the hek does that mean
couple of more things :I have the SP1 (with some sp2 components installed, is that normal ??). IE works great on almost every other web site

So i would like to know how to unistall IE6 under XP pro. Then i may be able to re install it and hopefully without problem.

thanks for your help  

thom, i am not sure it’s advisable or possible to uninstall IE, but i have opera 7.54 on my tr and love it. i use IE for the odd webpage that won’t work in opera, and in opera u can tell it to report itself as IE.  the pages that opera dont work are usually sites owned by Gates. i dont think this post will help u, but if you have a mix of SP1 and SP2 components, that cant be good. good luck!

Get your XP CD, open up a command prompt and type in sfc /SCANNOW and see if that helps. It’s also a good idea to scan for spyware.

Just done the spyware searcg and the “sfc scannow” thing…. and didn t solve my problem… when i open ” my inbox” from the msn messenger window it tells me i should install IE in order to continue…
I m know using firefox which rocks!!!
but i d like to solve the IE problem
do you have other ideas in how to uninstall IE? thanks for your help

Actually, please post the screenshot. There’s some of us here who can read French so it would be easier for us to see the actual error.

Here they are….

The first one is what i get when i try top open the “inbox” from msn messenger

The second one is what i get when launch the win update

Interesting fact… even dough i can t launch win update the automatical update still work fine..
