If you install over itself, it will tell you that it's already installed, and you'll need to up-grade, and not install again. Perhaps the best way is to un-install first, then re-install. That will most likely fix the reluctance to find the server.Having said all that, the best way to treat IE is consign it to the shaddows, and use FireFox. Hope this helps. Jim
