Ernie, the classical solution is "reformat, reinstall", though you could probably get by with just the reinstall part. Since IE is "integrated", reinstall means reinstall Win98, of course. Or, you could install Netscape! But, you might be left with other problems in Win98, the OS that was supposed to suck less :-(. Part of the "benefit to consumers" of "integrated IE". I've actually got W98 running on one machine, it sorta works ok, seemed to be holding together at least as well as OSR2, but after it hung up once, it wouldn't get through scandisk on the reboot. Couldn't get out of it either. I had to unplug the disk, which wasn't the system disk, got a clean boot & shutdown, tried to plug the disk back in, still hung up in scandisk. Time to dig up the old DOS disk I guess. Cheers, Dan.
