Version Vector

[klafert]

I have Internet Explorer 6 sp2 and trying to use a program that requires
Internet Explore 6.0 and higher. However my Version Vector did not get
updated. So this program thinks it is 5.0 or lower. The browser works, but
the registry setting is not correct. I have version 6.01 on CD and on the
computer I have 6.2??? and since it is older the CD won't installed. I went
to the registry cause in some area it does show the correct version. I used
the add/remove - windows component to remove it to install the version I had
but there must be more entries that was left behind, so it won't install. I
saw on another the entries for the version vector. Can I simply export that
entries and import it on the other computer? What to do?

Hi Lafert,

Registry scripts to change the version vector of your IE browser.

Rather than applying the IE7 version vectors you may do better to examine
the scripts and find the registry key where the version vectors are stored
and delete the values. Your browser will then revert to the version vector
that it has internally.

Regards.

2) Symantec (ISS\NIS) [Enable Browser Privacy - enabled] Active Content -

that are blocking access to the desired site.

4) HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the desired
