Hi guys, I have an XP PC and I want to downgrade back to IE6 from IE7, I removed files from program files, Steal IE6 program files folder from VM and paste, Founded a lot of dll's in system32 for IE6 and I copy paste "most" of them, buut no, It renders html but It cant enter any site(https or http) I even tried it with my site that I design for IE6 and tried with theoldnet.com too, google.com doesnt woork too. Regular Way(installer) doesnt work, the windows update restored's settings file is with syntax error and doesnt work like usual, Can someone just give me an zip with IE6 program files folder(PC is x86) and put the DLL's required with path specified(yea pc is x86 so pls x86 version of XP) Please someone help me. My old XP computer is cryin'

If this was manual deletion, it may be a problem that cannot be easily solved. If you made a list of which files you replaced you may be able to revert.  A repair install may be in order.

This part of the OS is not redistributable. Since you have access to VMs, you could make a new one and install XP and IE6 and get the files yourself.

Hmm, I somepoint tried to spam error message box with pressing down enter, AAND! It says ieframe.dll is missing? What? IE6 doesnt include that+normal Windows XP doesnt have that? now I slapped on dll, but why? (null) isnt an Win32 value? I think I should restart pc. *Restarting vintage pc* Im still getting that error :(

You would also have to export .reg's from the VM and import to the host.

You are really REALLY REALLY just better off archiving whatever you need saved and REINSTALLING your XP.

If you have the ability to install to a VM, then you have the ability to install to your real hardware.

I would suggest a program called DriverGrabber so you don't have to hunt for any drivers not part of OEM XP.

Im In an very bad statement, It has USB1.1 Internal and USB 2.0 PCMCI but, BIOS cant boot from it and BIOS update requires floppy which is broken, CD-ROM is unplugged for an unsuccesful try of putting SSD which worked on all my other PC's, I can just entirely remove HDD and use docker, but I use acronis for that purpose, :( Yeah I know that I can install to VM, But hardware is an XP computer like expected and its too old to even floppy drive to work
