hello,
I have a prob with IE 6.
I think I majorly *** it up not knowing how though.
It doesnt save cookies, and it doesnt show pictures on the websites.I found the option to show pics in Tools-IE options - advanced- multimedia.However when I restart the computer these settings change and it doesnt show pictures again.Same for cookies.When I restart my pc it doesnt save any.
I tried to reinstall the explorer, but I cant even uninstall it first.
It's not in the programms list on add/remove thing, and either way it doesnt have uninstall option.

I'm using XP personal, SP 2.
Would be very grateful for help cos Im sick of logging in everywhere every time.
