You could try downloading IE6, but this per say does not solve your problem.

Go to www.zdnet.com or www.tucows.com and find yourself a nice unistaller that will rip all remains of IE 5.5 from your system and then install it again.

Good luck!

When you say you "deleted" ie5.5 did you just delete files?

If so try "add/remove programs" from Control Panel. Otherwise try installing an old version 4.0 or 5.0 first and then install 5.5 afterwards.

Go to c:\windows update setup files. Use the I.E. setup icon. This should reinstall I.E. for you. When trying delete I.E. it actually takes several tries to fully delete it. That is why you are still getting the message you have a later version onyour system.
