Win'98SE & IE 6

I agree with PA Bear. I would at least have a full system-back up before
even attempting to remove IE which I have no plans to do. Also, Bill in
Co., how are you planning on getting Windows updates without IE or do you
have some incredible computer that is able to keep out all intruders. bg

I remember its name now: IE eradicator (Haven't used it) Probably
just removes SOME of the IE interface, and that's it.

Oooo, noooo! You're playing with fire when you play with IEradicator,

Yeah - it's the latter. ("we have nothing to fear, except fear itself")

Bill in Co., have you at least considered making Mozilla Firefox or another
browser your default browser before attempting to remove IE? I mainly use
Firefox now and use IE only when necessary but to each his own. :

Hi!

1. IE 6 has better support for certificates on smartcards.
2. www.epoline.org is displayed correctly in latest versions
of Firefox, Opera and IE but not in IE 5.5 SP2.

Best regards, Roman

LOL!!!

They said "resistance is futile", but they were wrong! As for me, I'm
QUITE CONTENT with IE 5.5 SP2.

There have been some rumors (not created by me) that some people using
Win98SE had some problems with IE 6. I don't know if that is the case -
most people here say it works great. So - if you want the newest model,
go
for it!

But as for me, (and just as an aside), I'm still QUITE CONTENT with WMP
6.4
too (just for the record) So there! LOL.

Thank you very much for the reply.

(And don't believe a word of what Colorado says! eg)

Please pardon my ignorance, but what the above was supposed to mean?

MS considers IE6 SP1 to be a Critical Update: http://snipurl.com/4bgz.

team at Microsoft.

Upgrading will necessitate two (2) visits to Windows Update: One to
install
IE6 SP1 (and reboot), then another to install post-SP1 updates for both
IE
and Win98. To assure a clean install, your anti-virus application
should be
disabled and all other running processes closed before installing
anything,
including Windows Updates.

Early versions of IE6 SP1 proved troublesome for a small minority of
Win98
users but such bugs have been addressed and trouble us no more. Don't
let
anyone else tell you differently. (And don't believe a word of what

Yeah, but when you're crossing busy streets, you are able to see the risks and
dodge them (else you wouldn't be here.) The problem with Windows Security
vulnerabilities is that you can't see what's about to hit you until it already
has.

Isn't Bill usually too inebriated to notice (or at least dodge) much when he is
crossing the street????
:-)

I have no intention of removing IE. I like IE.

Brae Loch Golf Course, Grayslake, IL. 7th hole.

New Years Day, a few years back.

After I bounced my ball off the ice and onto the green,
dead to the pin, I walked across the lake, clubs, bag, cart and all.

Made the putt for a birdie. So there.....

All the same, don't drag me into it, you either!

I had to upgrade my internet explorer from 5 to 6 in order to install a piece of softwear (IE 6 was included on the cd). I have not noticed any difference and I hear from my pc whizz friend that 5 is actually quite good anyway.

Don't try to drag me into this! I'm not going through all those tests
again!
