Tnx 4 d info...but what's the difference from the first IE6?

Does it fix issues associated with email in outlook express?

So far I haven't had any problems with IE6, only with express....

Outlook Express is a component of Internet Explorer.

I guess I didn't make myself clear enough.........yes, I know about outlook express being a component of Internet Explorer...:rolleyes:....although, sometimes it doesn't mean everything is fixed........I have no problems with Explorer itself, and since it's a component of the package, you would think so, but there are only problems with outlook itself.......and your answer didn't answer my question, either.....did it fix any problems with outlook express also?.....or was this sp1 just an update to more problems?.......:D

If Outlook Express is a component of Internet Explorer, then obviously SP1 would fix any known problems in Outlook Express as well as Internet Explorer.

If you really want to know what the SP addresses , go to Microsoft's site and read about it.

yes, I could go to Micro$oft's website and read what they propose this update does, but I was asking in here because the thread was started here and was asking because I thought, someone had used it.........

Reading what M$ has to say, doesn't mean it works....:D

I downloaded and installed it today and I have not noticed any difference. It seems to be OK in all respects for both IE 6 and OE 6. :cool:

Installed IE 6, service pack1 and it somehow disabled my Microsoft Management Console. How do I reinstall the MMC?Thanks for any help!

I think I will just sit back and see what problems come up with it, and stick with 5.5 SP2. I can see one apparently did. Start a thread, burgert, you might get more replies to your question that way. You are hijacking this one, lol.

I held on to IE 5.5 SP2 for a long time, but recently upgraded to IE 6 SP1. Worked smoother than anything from M$ that I have seen in a long time... :cool:

In other words:
I Love it!

The cookie control feature alone is worth the step IMHO.

burgert...sorry...don't know anything about the mgmt console thing...

Been running IE6 on my Win98FE machine since it came out of beta last fall with no probs.

Just wiped and installed the same OS on my networked PC and loaded IE6. Saw the new version at the update site. Dn/loaded and installed it with no problems. Haven't had a chance to play with it much yet,but seems stable.

As K G G says,i've always liked the third party cookie blocking feature. Don't have so many to wipe out of my cookie folder when doing a cleanup...:)

I went to Windows Update Site, and then found that the IE6 SP1 is now a critical update for me. Maybe some others are getting this, too.

Sounds like everyone is in agreement, it's a good download.....NOT!! at least on my end.....I downloaded and tried to install it this morning.....got as far as installing components, installer said these components were not going to be installed because they are not windows xp compliant........and did not install the update........now what?

Download worked fine for me, except changed all my links back to Ms default. If you went with backing up during download you should be able to go back to the way you were.

i got the critical update message this morning on my win 98 explorer 5.5 machine.. But this upgrade is for explorer 6.. What gives? I never installed IE6 on any of my computers and probably never will unless I go to winXP.. So do we ignore that critical update for IE 6 when you have IE5.5 ..? Yes!

MS is saying installing or upgrading to IE6 SP1 is the update, it isn't a critical update for IE6. I am doing the same thing you are, ttodd, ignoring it. I like the little addons MS put out on IE5x, and they do not work on 6. The little things like View Partial Source, Add to Trusted/Restricted under Tools on the toolbar, Highlight, Document Tree.

I think that's what I should have done.....ignored it.......now I have a problem with my computer.......everytime I reboot, I get a message that installing IE6 sp1 didn't finish installation and would I like to continue.......if I say yes, it starts installing then gives me another message that certain components can't be installed because they are not winxp compliant and will not be installed........Can I do a repair on IE and get it back to before I tried the install or should I do a winxp restore?

I would do the restore.. for sure. maybe even restore the registry from the day before.
