Default IE file lost: "Required .DLL Patcher file not found"

I recently bought a used Dell XPS 0333 Win98 computer from a buddy and after
deleting the previous owner's signin and AOL, to my horror I discovered that
my required IE browser file is missing.

Clicking on the desktop IE icon I get box saying: Windows 'cannot find
iexplore.exe', plus the icon in my taskbar is no longer the common 'E', but
only shows a monitor that says 'launch internet explorer browser'. Clicking
on that bring up a box saying -

ERROR STARTING PROGRAM
A required .DLL file, Patcher.DLL, was not found.

Is it possible to download such a .DLL file or not?


I am currently able to access the internet using my MSN9 browser, but would
like to reinstall IE 5 or 6 if that's even possible as MSN no longer supports
Win98.
I have access to a Win98 CD, but it indicates it's only for new PCs without
Windows.

Patcher.dll is not a necessary win-98 file. It is not a microsoft
file.

Patcher.dll seems to be associated with or provided by AOL.

IE will work fine without patcher.dll. Ideally you do not want
patcher.dll on your system.
