TC and all, I've tried just about everything, but no luck. For some reason using IE5.5 on Windows 98 SE, I can access most sites, but some... such as www.freerealtime.com and www.classmates.com ... just won't connect. I have an external modem and when I click on those sites there is no activity at all and a window opens after awhile saying cannot connect. I did find I was getting a message "java script disabled", but I can't find where to enable it. I also am using a Matrox Millenium II (with 4 megs of ram) and the latest driver from the Matrox website, but I suddenly have lost the Matrox Powerdesk, diagnostics, etc., etc.. I get a popup window saying that "Matrox Powerdesk is currently disabled" and to either (1) restart in normal mode instead of safe mode (not pertinent) or (2) current driver does not support PowerDesk (highly doubtful as I have the latest driver installed from Matrox for WIN98 SE and Matrox Millenium II card) or (3) if I'm using the multi-display mode, disable it (unfortunately I don't even know where to go to check it). Anyone have any ideas... please. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking of reinstalling WIN98 SE directly over the existing Windows 98 SE on the hard drive, but don't know if this will preserve my settings, e-mail, address book, databases, etc.. Anyone with any experience in attempting to just reinstall WIN 98 SE directly over an existing WIN98 SE using the original OS CD... or will this just create more problems? Many thinks again, Marty
