Thanx again for any help....
You can remove IE completely using IEradicator found at the following URL

the problem you are encountering is related to the setup files which by large are the same for IE5 and IE6 basically due to the fact that IE5 is so buggy they released a new one with all the bug fixes rather than have new and improved features.... basically Win9x and Me thinks its the same application
Uninstalling IE5 and then Installing IE6 apparently resolves this problem in most cases.. Although If you decide to do this I would install mozilla firefox first incase you encounter problems and am left without a working internet explorer.
All at your own risk... remember that
and you require the full Internet Explorer Application not just the upgrade
Personally speaking I Kill Internet Explorer and use Firefox..... big fan of XPlite and 98lite which strips all the rubbish out of Win2k/XP and 95/98/Me respectively... fantastic pieces of software
