Hi Need help before the pc goes through the window!!
Ive just tried to change my windows xp pro to media edition on my spare pc to use as a media player through tv etc.
I have two genuine disks for media edition, but it wont load internet explorer, the files appear corrupt.

I cannot install my broadband software as the disk is asking for a version of IE, and hasnt got a copy to install. I downloaded ie 7 ran it but it then asked for genuine advantage check, which isnt aproblem, but needs Bl**dy IE to be installed first. I then downloaded an old version of ie6, but because i ran a bit of 7 it says that a newer version is already installed, so stopped. I have tried using the XP disk to remove all version of IE, but to no avail.

I am now guessing that i need to remove all traces from the registry, to start from scratch with 6 again, but dont know where to start.

Firefox isnt an option at present as my broadband set up disk isnt compatable with it.

Help please?
