Internet Explorer 6 sucks donkey nuts

by **adidas** on Wed Oct 24, 2001 6:11 am

I had to post that at Geoshock of all places yesterday. I was pissed off and had to share it with others!

Still am pissed off. What a piece of shit.

Any ideas on how to get IE 6 out of XP which has IE 6 by default? I want IE 5.5 damn it!

Fuck XP. I'm sticking with 98

You can't remove IE6 from XP, it's fully integrated... (part of the reason I stayed with Windows 2000 Pro)

I tried sticking IE5 (from an Office 2000 CD) onto my bro's XP computer, but it said that there was a newer version of IE already installed and it never gave me the option to put it on anyways... all I could do was click OK.

Same here, I tried putting IE 5 in and it gave me that message.

There's gotta be something I can do in the registry that will let me put IE 5 in.

I'm seriously considering enabling the system restore feature in XP and then screwing around with registry keys that include IE 6. That way if I fuck something up I can just go back (in theory)

System restore does work great.

by **adidas** on Thu Oct 25, 2001 5:06 am

I would have too if I didn't start getting blue screen errors in 98 SE.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. System restore has saved my arse a few times now. I dont use the windows one since I have 98 still but I use Goback which is enabled from just after the memory check is completed. Most handy if windows blows up and you cant load it.

When i had my first pc,System Restore was used at least 10 times after dumbass mistakes i made,now for this pc i will have to use again,but i have way to many files to back up! Fuck damnit ,cant use MySpace anymore and the cd-burner i going to buy sold out.

did you all pay for Windows XP?

ohh... and hello [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I know I been away for the past 7 or 8 months now, but I thought i would come back and show my face.

I been spending my time at http://www.deviantart.com which is a fantazmagorical site. check me out at zep.deviantart.com because i rule. If you do graphics or WHATEVER go check it out.

I kinda lost interest in emulation, although I did download MSHvsSF which damn cool.

Good to see you. I've been to that site before and it's pretty cool, alot of people recomend it when others are searching for backgrounds and stuff. I got my copy free from a Microsoft roadshow.

P.s.
Dod you just change your avatar?

Hey Zep nice to see you around again. Took a look round the site, and liked what I saw. Got any more of that high quality art lying round the place? I have made no more submissions since that time ago, which reminds me that Rommy gave me some a while back...

by **adidas** on Sat Oct 27, 2001 12:57 am

Hey Zep, you should come around more often, hell most of the time our topics start out emulation and end up.. well anywhere. You know how it is.

And did I wha... PAY? HAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm thinking of getting a "super demo elite" version of the home version of XP. I dunno where I could get one and I don't know if it's worth it. I'm using Windows Me at the mo which is running great. I heard that I would need the Win ME CD to install XP (even the super downloadable demo version). that true?

by **adidas** on Sat Oct 27, 2001 10:52 pm

I'll tell you all that I know about it:

I downloaded the 'corporate version' of Windows XP Pro (supposedly). What everyone says in the warez 'scene' about that is that it's a version meant for schools and businesses and it doesn't have the activation crap.

Believe as much of that as you want. I personally think that it's just a cracked Windows XP.

So, I downloaded the ISO from a public ftp, I found a serial (if you need it I'll email it to you, just ask) and I burned it then installed it.

When I installed it all I did was start Windows 98 SE and put my WinXP disc in. It autoran and I set it up just like you would set up any other version of Windows. It never asked me for any CD's, the only one I ever used during setup was the XP disc.

Sorry, I don't have the ftp address where I got it anymore, I'm not sure of any others where you could download it, either. I'm sure you could look around and find one easily, or depending on your connection speed maybe you could use Direct Connect.

no rush...no rush at all

by **Zep** on Sun Oct 28, 2001 7:21 pm

Thanks for that adidas.

Now all I gotta do as have a lil poke around for it....

by **adidas** on Mon Oct 29, 2001 6:44 pm

I found it man, private ftp. The first time I checked it wasn't busy, I just checked now and it was.

ftp://alliance:alliance@monkey.servebeer.com:21

Good luck, I hope you can get in fairly easily. Max 10 users. Non-ratio as of right now... hopefully the guy will keep it that way until you get what you need.

wow man

thanks a lot

i wonder if this is the home or pro edition.....

by **Zep** on Tue Oct 30, 2001 3:27 am

oooo

"corporate"

i think that just means the pro version.

are the drivers and features still the same as the home version cause that's the one i was hoping to get.

anyway, thanks again, in about 70 hours i should have downloaded the entire thing :kisses his 56k internal modem: [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

by **Megaman X** on Tue Oct 30, 2001 4:47 am

Corporate is just the Pro version without the WPA.

What exactly is bad about IE 6 ?
If it's any more crash prone as IE 5.5 then i wont bother.

by **Damian** on Tue Oct 30, 2001 9:46 am

I have IE6 full on another comp and beta on this. No problems as of yet but I have not tried PE200.net which is where Adidas was having problems.

by **adidas** on Tue Oct 30, 2001 4:55 pm

IE 6 hasn't crashed yet for me, but I don't think it's due to the fact that IE 6 is good. I know that's not true. It must be because XP is stable.
