900 WEB ACCESS charge

To be honest with you Apadana, I'm stumped too. The main difference between a dial-up connection and a DSL connection (high-speed) would be the upload/download speeds. A major disadvantage of dial-up connection is that it uses the home telephone line. So it's either one way or another; talk on the phone or connect to the Internet. If another person attempts to call your phone while you're on the Internet, the call would be unsuccessful. Compared to a DSL connection, you can both call and surf at the same time.

The general idea is that when dial-up connects to the Internet, it generates low frequencies through the telephone line such as the one that the phone uses. However, a broadband connection connects using the same method but with a higher frequency. It also means that you are "permanently" connected to the Internet, unless you turn off the modem. Wikipedia offers two articles about dial-up and DSL connections.

You said you could not download from the Microsoft Site. Was that Automatic Updates or the site itself? Do you have a friend or acquaintance who has a fast connection? You can drag-and-drop the .exe file of IE6 to a flash drive (USB) and then execute it on your home computer. If not the least you can do it burn it to a blank disc.

It is MS Office? Not Works? I use Works, not MS Word.

To be honest, with you I'm stumped about the Epson driver. Is it still supported?

Usually, .exe files or the install files from a disc/CD will allow you to choose where to install the program files, it is usually in Advanced Mode of the installation.

Take WinPatrol for example:
C:\Program Files\BillP Studios\WinPatrol

The C drive would be C:\ not C:/.

I was able to download the Internet Explorer 6 (ie6setup) but won't allow me to install it completely. I was able to install Internet Explorer 6 successfully but lost it when I reinstalled Microsoft Professional. Someone said that it might be a RAM problem that all these programs are installing in (C:\).

Thanks for trying...

Could this be a space problem? So do you mean that you had IE6 prior to reinstalling Windows Profession 2000?

How did you 'reinstall' it? Did someone else do it for you? Was there recovery discs that came with the computer?

My dear,

I was able to install Internet Explorer 6 right from Microsoft's website and not by a CD- CD is no longer available for IE6. After I reinstalled Microsoft 2000 it reverted back to IE5 and it won't allow me to reinstall IE6. It is a space problem because evidently all my programs for some reason are going to (C:/); even says to make more space.

I wonder why Mozilla was able to install in Programs but Google is in (C:/).

Oh, well...

When you "reinstall" the OS, it is more like a reformat so it reverts everything back to factory settings. Say like you have the IE 6 update in 2002 (just for example, not for real), but the computer was purchased and came with IE5. So "reinstalling" would bring everything back to when the computer was purchased. If you want a general idea about the disk space left (in %) then open the 'Disk Defragmenter' in Accessories.

I do not know the drive capacity of your system, nor do I know what else is installed (besides the updates, browsers, and MS Word). The Service Pack will probably take up some hundreds of MB.

I don't think I can assist you any further on your problem (unable to install IE6 and Epson driver) because this thread is no going anywhere.

If it is possible then another member can step up and you'll respond to them Apadana.
