In Control Panel/Internet Options/Connections/Settings the box use proxy server is always checked. After unchecking it rechecks itself. This preventing connection to the internet. Email works okay. System is running Windows ME with IE6.

Try booting up in Save mode and uncheck the Use a proxy server checkbox.

It seems that when you uncheck that checkbox there is some application that is loaded in the background that writes back to the registry key the old settings reverting or rolling back the change that you were trying to make.

When you boot in safe mode that application will not be loaded and therefore the change will not be rolled back.
