I am running Windows 98 SE.
When I try to open IE 6 I get a message:
“Buffer overrun detected which has corrupted the program’s internal state. Program will be terminated” or words to that effect.
In Add/Remove Programs the only options available are: “Add a component” and “Repair Internet Explorer.” It does not self-repair. The option: “Resore the previous Windows configuration” is greyed out.
My version of IE 6 was I believe installed as part of AOL 7. AOL works fine, but IE by itself won’t work.
I have tried installing IE 6 (from the AOL broadband installation disc) over the existing installation but nothing happens. I guess the program senses that a full version of the program is already in place.
I was wondering what would happen if I deleted the IE directory and then tried to reinstal it from the disc. Would it overwrite any Windows system files that are associated with IE and make a complete fresh installation?
Any suggestions will be most welcome.
