I had posted this before and can't remember the thread I
was on. The person who replied had me go to
inetexplorer.org. This had a lot of useful information.
Unfortunately, I cannot download anything other than
Windows updates. I had StopZilla program installed but it
is now uninstalled and I still am having problems. I
cannot even download attachments to emails. I think the
setup I have is wrong for IE6. But I cannot find the
error. Thanks so much in advance for anyone's help.

OS), and the others as an answer may be found in one of them.

If it is only .exe files, then read on and see if this is relevant:

Remove the plugin with Regedit.exe
Start-Run-Regedit.exe
Navigate down to this key and remove it, after exporting it as a
normal safety precaution.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Plugins\Extension\.exe

If that key exists, then you will see what plugin has been installed.
The key does not normally exist.

Repair IE6 might be a suggestion that would be in order. Since you didn't
state which Operating System you have, you'll use the instructions which
apply to your situation. Windows98 is simple. Go to Add/Remove
programs>Microsoft Internet explorer SP-1 >click add/remove> select repair.
Other systems are a bit more involved to do the repair.

I have tried the solutions listed below and still cannot
download anything from the internet. I cannot even
download a new copy of IE6. Should I try to uninstall it
and try again?
