    Default Downloaded IE 6.0, erasing IE 5.5?

    Hallo,
    I downloaded IE 6.0 to replace mz IE 5.5. Now the download is not an upgrade of the 5.5 but a FULL download. How do I go about switching from the 5.5 ( still in operation ) to the 6.0: I guess I canot just erase the 5.5 ( and maybe do not want to ). The OS is a W98.

    Best Greetings

    Robert

    When you install IE 6 on top of existing IE 5; the installation should upgrade the IE. I really doubt that you would have to uninstall the older version to put IE 6 on your machine.

    IE 6 will install over IE 5.5. I've done it several times. Make sure you run Windows Update for security patches.

    The other way to run almost most versions the IE at the same time.

    1) Go to http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE . Read about the multiple IE software.
    2) Download http://tredosoft.com/files/multi-ie/...e-ie-setup.exe
    3) Install it

    Good luck.
