Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / June 2005spybot problem
During the install of the latest IE 5.5 update patch, Spybot's Resident Tea Timer popped up to block the registry change that the patch required. Screen froze up and I had to do a restart. When I examined the About IE it showed the update to be installed, but since the registry change was blocked I am now wondering if all is as it should be. I noticed a comment about the Tea Timer registry bug on Spy Bot's site, but still am not sure if the MS update is whole.

You should be using IE6 SP1 and I suggest SyBot S&D v1.4.  SignatureDave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm I am using S&D 1.4. The registry problem is in that version.

David: Just curious, I also have IE5.5 which I only use when absolutely necessary. Even so, I have tried to upgrade to IE6 over 5.5 many times without success. Every attempt has resulted in a message to the effect that some components failed to install and setup closes. I do not remember the exact words. I have downloaded the files from the update site when prompted but no joy. Perhaps you have a clue as to what the problem is. sced13ri BTW, do I see you posting In Verizon newsgroups as well? If so, that's another can of worms regarding blocked e-mail. If not, I apologize.

I am a long time poster, 5 years on Verizon ;-) There can always be problenms installing any software or updating installed software. Problems with IE can be adware/spyware corrupted files or corrupted Registry. I have never had a problem installing IE6 SP1 on WinME but it could be becuase many were fresh installs or known tio be clean of any infectors. BTW: The Verizon email blocking sucks and I call it censorship by proxy. One who uses a Verizon email address *must* have at least one other email address. I have a web based Yahoo account for when I communicate with Europe.

David: I have AdAware, Spybot S&D, Spyware Blaster, AVG AV and Zone Alarm Pro on my system, so I don't think it's outside influence. You mention "fresh installs", just where would I find the files to try that? I have not found anything that works at Microsoft sites. I must be missing something, perhaps you could point me in the right direction. Thanks, sced13ri From: "sced13ri" <sced13ri@nowhere.invalid> | David: | [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] | | sced13ri What I did was download IE6, chose the advanced option and chose all components of all operating systems. Total installation files ~ 46MB and I use that to install on Win9x/ME and Win2K.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Just need to pick a convenient time to do the downloads. :-P AFAIK, IE6 SP1 installation files are on the AOL9 CD available in the USA. See TryAOL\AOL90\MSIE6198.exe. While I have never used this file to install IE6 SP1, I think our colleague MVP Noel Paton has done so. He can advise better. SignatureJack E.

Probably yes, but as it's only a Registry thing, it's not too difficult to correct.

The IE6.1 files I downloaded just will not install, setup just hangs at the "Choose typical or custom box". It appears that everything I find at Microsoft just wants to connect to the web to install. I just happen to have a little game CD I never used and it has AOL90 on it with the file you suggested. I will give it a try and post back, probably in a day or two. sced13ri > AFAIK, IE6 SP1 installation files are on the AOL9 CD available in the USA. > See TryAOL\AOL90\MSIE6198.exe.

Setup begins then says the IE and several other files on my system are incorrect and requests permission to go on line and download files. From that point the result is pretty much the same as before. A download site is accessed, setup proceeds to about 96% of installation then fails with the message "Setup could not install all components, please close all applications and run setup again". There are no signs of the so called 90+% installed files on my system and my IE is still 5.5x I guess I will stick with what I have since IE is last in the line of browsers on my machine. I just hope when I do my upgrade to XP Home that good old IE doesn't mess me up. :-( sced13ri Meanwhile, try FireFox. It works. > > AFAIK, IE6 SP1 installation files are on the AOL9 CD available in the USA. > > See TryAOL\AOL90\MSIE6198.exe.

Just want IE correct for the rare times I need it. Some sites only present properly with IE. Even using the psuedo IE setting in M or FF does not always work. >>>AFAIK, IE6 SP1 installation files are on the AOL9 CD available in the > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >> >>sced13ri |
