>>I installed IE 4.0 & loved how it worked when it finally got running (the boot up and shutdown were nightmares!)
>>But, alas, I decided to remove it so my machine would run more reliably. I used the ADD/REMOVE program in the control panel. After about five minutes of chugging I got everythng back the way it was before I installed IE 4.0, with one benefit - my machine is now a bit faster that it used to be.

>>The KB article about uninstalling IE 4.0 says that if you delete the "backup" files that IE4 creates then you will not be able to uninstall it. OR, if you install it on a dual boot machine you wont be able to uninstall it.

>The KB article actually says that if your dual-boot machine has both operating systems on the same logical drive it won't uninstall. Once again we are subject to typical Microsoft facism. "Install our product and we'll never let you go! Ooh wah ha ha ha ha (my attempt to emulate an evil laugh in text)." Well, I lucked out in that my OS's are one different drives. It uninstalled fine.

I did not have a dual boot machine and I did not delete any backup files.
Now, I know the registry is corrupted and window would not recognize my second hard drive(the computer does when it boot up).

Any one know of tools/freeware to fix the registry

On the other hand I liked IE4 when I installed it, but I think I did not have enough memory (only 16M) to accomplish some action such as Acrobat readers.

Thanks
