hello everyone,
                       I'm trying to install IE 6 onto an ast laptop thats running 98 SE to
to use a wireles card. The modem in the laptop is not working.just so you'll know this a friends laptop that he wants to let his mother use to get on the net.I have tried put IE 6 on disk and install it but it keeps wanting to GO to the internet to update. Is there a way to install this with out having to get on the internet. Please see what you can do for me to help out my freind.

                                       merry christmas,

                                                              bmacgurkIs a previous version of IE working on that laptop?  Why can't you use that previous version, at least to get your Internet connection setup?  Then, you can go online and download IE 6.hi'
   i found out the modem is unuseable so i notable to get on the internet with it.
Thats why i need IE 6 to use a wireless card because it says that i need IE 6 to do so. The laptop has a lesser Ie on 5 i think. so you see my delema.

                                                 bmacgurkObviously, you can reach the Internet from another computer. Go here:

After downloading, burn the setup to a CD or place it on a diskette. Then copy it off the CD/disk to your computer. Install. 8-)hi dilbert,
               I downloaded that and tried it and it still wanted to GOT o the net and update So i'm still stuck

Wait, it wants to update before you install? Describe in detail exactly what happens when you install IE6. I know we're GETTING close here. I can feel it. hi dilbert,
              Sorry it tookso long to get back to you. I downloaded it to a cd-r and put it in the laptops cd-rom brought it up and double clicked the the IE 6 folder started to install then wanted to update. Since it couldn't connect to the internet it stopped installing.Needless to say my friend has ordered the cd from MICROSOFT for $5.25 and it should take 1 to 3 weeks to get here.  I'm intriqued about how to do it with out having to order the cd. It's something i'm missing and i can't put my finger on it.Maybe the setup.exe or just the .exe i don't know. But have to wait till he gets back  because he has the laptop and he's gone to visit his FOLKS for christmas.So i think i covered it.
