Hi,

I have a laptop Inspiron 7000 Pentium II which has Windows XP home edition. Windows works perfect. I installed (via online) the internet explorer from the Microsoft update webpage, but it was not working properly. After that, I decided to Delete the internet explorer, but it was not listed in the installed software listing (I checked in Add Remove Programs). Logically, I concluded that the program was not correctly installed via internet. Since I had no other choice (at least at my current tech-knowledge level), I deleted ALL the files associated with the Internet explorer 6.0.

After that, I have been trying to make a clean installation of the Explorer 6.0 sp1 and the Outlook Express via internet and (in additon, I bought the Microsoft CD containing the same Internet 6.0 & Outlook Express). Before the installation begins, the installation wizard shows the following message: "THE SYSTEM HAS DETECTED YOU HAVE ALREADY AN  UPDATED VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE. IT WILL NOT CONTINUE WITH THE INSTALATION". I tryied to install it via CD ROM and it shows the same message. Seems that I have not been able to eliminate all the associated files....

How can I make a clean installation without receiving the mentioned message?

Thanks in advance!

Mx
