I have winxp with sp2 and whenever I try to install MAX6 it shows that it requires ie6 or higher. But I already have internet explorer 6. Actually I upgraged my mobo so clean installed winxp with sp2(by formating HDD). Earlier (before the upgrade) I was able to install it with no problem. One more thing sp2 is not integrated to winxp pro installation, it's on a seperate CD.

My config:
AMD64 3000+ venice (new)
ASUS A8N-E (new)
1024MB DDR 400 dual channel
LEADTEK 6600GT PCI-E 128 MB (new)
SEAGATE 80GB HDD
winxp pro original
max6 original.

I tried reinstall ie6 using the ie.inf file. Still the problem persists.

Pls help.......
