Internet Explorer 7 uninstall problem

by @ 12:58 pm on May 22, 2006.

I installed IE7 before and I was happy with it, actually I liked the tabbed browsing, it is now better even than Firefox.

But the stupid thing is that one of the important Nokia application I use for work is crashing, and I cannot get it back to work on IE7, so I decided to roll back to IE6, but…

I had a very stupid problem, after I unistalled IE7 and run IE6, each time I try to open a link or type an URL in the address bar, I cannot open it, it gives me an error message “Windows cannot find ‘(null)’” , and it opens a blank IE window. some times it just opens the link in a FireFox window?!!?!

I googled for a solution, and I found it in JonGalloway’s site , it is simply that IE7 is writing a registry code that messes up IE6. if you have this problem, simply Copy the text below, save it on a file called IE7fix.reg then run the file. then close all IE6 windows and start again, and the problem is fixed.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C90250F3-4D7D-4991-9B69-A5C5BC1C2AE6}]

    Finally!! Thanx
    After my deinstallation of Internet Explorer 7.0 I couldn’t get IE6 to work normally anymore. Weird white popups, hanging and stuff.
    With this patch it is finally working again!

    THANX
