Answer 2

The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team recommends you not use Internet Explorer:
"There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies related to the IE domain/zone...It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser"

Try the free Firefox

Answer 3

Don't. As much as you may hate IE7, IE6 is really bad -- it will open up your computer to viruses and spyware and phishing attacks. Try some of the other free browsers out there -- go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ to download Firefox, and see if you like that. If not, there's others.

Answer 4

If you have XP and IE7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall IE7. This will take you back to IE6.

If you have Vista, I doubt you can uninstall IE7 and install IE6.
----------------------------
For XP:

Most problems with IE7 stem from either Add-ons that cause problems or corrupted files in IE7.

Run Internet Explorer with no add-ons installed
Start - All Programs -Accessories -Systems Tools - Click on “Run Internet Explorer (no add-ons)” If IE runs ok you have one or more bad add-ons.

In IE tools - Programs - Click on “Manage Add-ons”. Disable all add-ons then restart. Enable one add-on and restart. If ok enable another ad-on. Repeat until you find the add-on(s) that are causing the problem.

If this does not work you may need to reinstall IE7, uninstall IE7 with Ad/Remove programs. This will take you back to IE6.

Run Windows Live OneCare “Full Service Scan” http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
Run: Malicious Software Removal Tool (run “full scan”)

Answer 5

If I were you I would skip on hacker/cracker prone IE6 and get Firefox. Also, IE6 can be rather difficult to un-install, as well. It is at least when it ships with Windows.

Answer 6

http://www.sofotex.com/Microsoft-Internet-Explorer-6-download_L38.html This should take you to a site where you can download IE6. Hope it works!

Answer 7

Microsoft does not like people going to older versions of software so its gonna be difficult getting it out.

Try another browser like firefox http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/
or opera http://www.opera.com/download/

Answer 8

Microsoft is where you'll get it.
Just look for the previous versions farther down the page and its still listed there.

Answer 9

Try Microsoft.com or Download.com. If you can't find it there, then try to put it on a disk from a person who does have IE6.
