If you consider the possibility that he's not talking about cookies, but rather just any old any error message, it starts to sound as if somewhere along the way, Outlook/IE5 was setup to use MS Word as the default editor. But not having Word installed, an error is generated on the attempt to compose an email. ??? But I'm new to IE & Outlook myself and on a quick look I don't see where that can be changed. Maybe someone else can assist? ====== From LTK: "i am a non-techie of going through the chaos of an upgrade to a new Presario 5852 with windows98 and IE.5--have a list of problems already--first one is,when ever i click to send an e-mail to a web-site i am using i get harassed with cookies asking to me to install MSFT2000 WORD (Damn MSFT,always trying to force you to buy,whether you want it or not!)--i have to do 4 clicks to just get rid of it,and finally have an e-mail sent--HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS COOKIE ATTACK FROM WINDOWS98?????? i can find nothing to disable it!!! max "
