H G, you can go to the Microsoft site for an update of your operating system for the latest bug fixed, enhancements etc. here: windowsupdate.microsoft.com or do an upgrade to Win98. The upgrade to Win98SE is the preferable route IMO. After doing the upgrade, go to the Microsoft site to get all the latest product updates. Regards, Nick

Hal, IE 5.5 (or IE 5) should have no problem accessing the Lycos/Quote.com site. Although it is possible that something in your Windows 95 settings might be causing this, I would make sure that your browser is properly setup before making any modifications to your operating system. The fact that it did work at one time means that something has probably changed on your laptop. The Lycos/Quote.com also has a pop-up. Do you have any pop-up suppressing programs (NoAds, etc.) running? If so, disable them. Do you have a firewall running on your laptop? If so, you might try disabling the firewall and try accessing the site. If you still have problems, try running the tests at Fred Langa's BrowserTune 2000 site: browsertune.com Hope this helps. B.K.
