OS: Windows 2000 server SP4
IE 5.?
Server-type: Mail-,file-,print-,app-server
Recently I needed to update a 3d party mailscanner. The new version however
needed .Net framework 1.1. So I visit windows update. However to install .Net
framework I also needed to upgrade IE. So windows update scanned the computer
and listed all the updates. I selected both and finished the installation.
Therefore I had to restart the server.
After the reboot I had the following problems:
-Internet explorer won't start
I see the IE screen but no page is diplayed. I don't even get the "page can
not be
displayed" notification.
If I try to acces the internet connection settings I get no respons. And I
can't shut down IE the normal way.
My first reaction was to cancel the installation of IE by repairing the
installation to the old configuration. It's an option I had in Add/remove
programs IE6 SP1
Doing that had the following result:
IE still won't start (nothing new)
I also can't open the control panel ! I get a black screen and after half an
hour I finally get the list. So it got really slowly.
The other services are not affected however, they still work as fast usual.
Is there a way to remove the updates?
Or another solution to make it work?
Perhaps a solution to get around?
Thank you very much specialists
