Minimum of 512 MB RAM and 800 Mhz processor with at least a 64MB video card.

More, of course, would be better. What are the specs of the machine in
question?

Thank you - I only have 128 MB Ram & 32 MB video card. Guess I need a new
'puter.

All I really need is something that WORKS. I get script errors trying to
print data from Explorer 6 or from e-mails in Outlook Express.
Example = URL Res//C:\windows\system\SHDOCLC/preview.dlg
line 508
char 1
permission denied
code 0
Very frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Win Me works so if you are having problems there is something wrong with
your system (not that upgrading to a newer supported operating system
isn't a sensible strategy). Have you read KB293176 "Cannot Print from
Internet Explorer" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=293176) which
although mentioning only IE5.5 the solution can also apply to IE6.
Another possible solution would be to run the Internet Explorer repair
tool (Win IE closed, go to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, select
"Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1" click Add/Remove and then select
"Repair Internet Explorer" and click OK)

Other KBs that might apply include KB303360 "Error Message When You Print
from Internet Explorer: Printing Error: The Printer Cannot Be Found"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=303360) and KB303486 "Error Message
When You Attempt to Print a Web Page: An Error Has Occurred in the Script
on This Page" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=303486). Whilst you
probably aren't using a Postscript printer you might want to see what the
effect, if any, of removing any headers and footers when printing might
be. There is also KB811165 "Cannot Print in Internet Explorer if Surfairy
Is Installed" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811165) which although
targeted at those running XP might just also apply to Win Me.

Indeed, but as Mike already outlined, 'ME works" and it can easily be fixed
following his advice, step by step. <H>.

I didn't say that you should remove IE6 SP1, instead I suggested you
REPAIR it and gave the instructions on how to do this. Perhaps you were
confused by this requiring you to access the IE6 repair screen via
Add/Remove Programs. Follow the steps in my previous post and you should
be able to repair IE6 SP1. Regrettably I can't guarantee that will fix
your problem but is certainly worth trying as it costs nothing.

Best of luck,

I don't know, I have installed it many times with 318 MB of ram and a
733 Mhz pentium and it worked just fine,
change a few settings and works even faster.

I wouldn't necessarily buy XP for it specifically though.

I have a computer with a 350 Mhz processor and 128MB of RAM. XP will run
but very, very slowly :-)

Don't open two browser windows or suffer the wrath of crash.

I do though have a 433 AMD with 192 MB of ram and windows 2000 runs
very well on it. It has it's limitations
but works well. It doesn't like linux much but BSD works well with it.

Back with an update-
kbid=293176 & 303360 looked too tough for me to try.
kbid=303486 "Page cannot be found"
kbid=811165 - item 1 "remove surfairy" do not have it
item 2 "clear 'enable third party browser ext' no help
also "clear 'encapsulated postscript' did not have
Still looking for 'run Int Exp repair' my control panel has 31 entries
including 'add & remove' but nothing about repair.
Note - never did attend 'computer tech 101' sorry about that!! Cal

I'm sorry to appear to be repeating myself but you won't find "Repair IE"
in Add/Remove Programs. Instead, please carefully read what I have
already typed twice before.

So for the very last time, to run the Internet Explorer repair tool:

With Internet Explorer closed, go to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs,
select "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1" click Add/Remove and then
select "Repair Internet Explorer" and click OK.

NOTE this doe NOT remove/uninstall IE. When you select "Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6 SP1" and click Add/Remove a box pops up with THREE
options, one of which is to REPAIR IE and another is to REMOVE IE. The
one you want is REPAIR, that is REPAIR not REMOVE.

As I have previously said, no guarantee that it will work but until you
try it you will never know whether it will fix the problem or not.

Mike - thanks for being so patient.
I did as you said & clicked on the 'repair option'
Result = "Int Exp 6 could not be repaired" "Run set up again to reinstall
all components"
I ran IE6 setup.exe & chose 'reinstall all components'
Result = "D/L location information damaged" "Clear Int Exp browser cache &
retry setup" How do I find & clear the browser cache? Thanks again Cal

Mike is asleep, and while I am using XP, I do remember the ME IE setup,
if not the correct wording.

Open Internet Explorer, click on Tools, Options and the Delete (Temp?)
files. A small box comes up asking if you want to delete some
incomprehensible thing, but do click YES......and let it do it's stuff.
You should be deleting those every day, btw.

Otherwise you can find the IE browser cache in Windows Explorer, or wait
for Mike to get back to you in about 3 hours. I did check XP's IE and
it works same, but might be slightly different wording.
