I don't think you can. IE6 should install right over it I believe. I'm sure someone else can clarify this for you.

Go to your Control Panel and click Add/Remove programs and go down to Microsoft Internet Explorer Version... and click it to remove it. that simple but you know that some things require it.

Actually it comes with All computers and it's actually the engine AOL uses and it sucks cock and BTW Macs kick ass but iMacs are pieces of shit.

Leave IE alone, you could end up killing your O/S, just dl Mozilla, and then DL Firebird, im using firebird right now.

You don't need to download mozilla to use firebird you just need Firebird alone. And I use Firebird on all my PC machines.

Well I use both IE and Mozilla
Never bothered to uninstall IE. Sometimes I use IE when everything else fails or when I'm just plain lazy :roll:

I strongly suggest you not try to uninstall explorer. Microsoft has been smart and whatever you load in windows (ie. mycomputer) is part of explorer.

Yeah don't remove exlporer you will probably run into problems pretty quickly. YOu can just have two browsers instead. Just don't use IE if you don't want.

You need to make a boot CD to do a full reinstall if you bought the computer from a company it should have come with it. all you do is put the boot disk in the computer and restart it will do a clean install back to the original state so make sure you back up on a seperate hardrive and/or on Hard Copy. you might need to reinstall windows to eliminate the errors you are getting, it happens you probably were fucking with something and corrupted something it happens when people don't know what they are doing with Computers and cars for that matter. what ever you do use Mozilla Firebird it's much safer and faster than IE but some sites only support IE and that's why you should keep it. Any questions just ask or PM

if you are talking about windows XP forget it, IE is required for windows to work. You can do this, however, on previous versions.

i cant believe people still use Ie.

opera from www.opera.com is a much better browser with really cool built in stuff. and its free also (except for a little banner which is unnoticable).

just keep ie and dont use it. many browsers use the ie engine. But i think Opera is the only one that uses its own engine for surfing.
