The Conrol panel applet for the 16 bit or 32 bit interface is being loaded

Check your video card to make sure that it is using 32 bit drivers or update the latest drivers for the video card

The other option would be to reinstall Windows 98

Tommy, make sure you have all files of your previous IE 4;5;5.1;5.51(which one you had installed before) deleted. Then stop all visible and invisible (background) programmes and re-install IE6. The re-activate the stopped programmes and it will most probably work fine.
If you have WinZip installed, it may be that you have to UnInstall it before installing IE6 and re-install it afterwards. Should not be a big problem. Good luck.
