Did you uninstall IE6 SP1 *before* you reinstalled WinME?

Re: IE6 keeps crashing

I did a reinstall/format of Windows ME. Then did windows updates which
installed ie6. My pc crashed again yesterday and came back up with ie5.5.
When I try to reinstall ie6 I get an error that it can't install all of most
of the items and then stops the installation. I looked for ie5.5 and ie6 in
the add remove programs and didn't see either one there.

Re: IE6 keeps crashing

We already know what you've done. Please answer my question, John: Did you
or did you not uninstall IE6 SP1 *before* you reinstalled WinME?
