How do I repair IE in Win98SE 4.10.2222A?
I rarely use IE for web browsing over Mozilla/Firefox, but a few things
are messed up on my old system that I think repairing/reinstalling windows explorer would help fix. I vaugely remember something about an option somewhere to "repair internet explorer", but I can't remember where it was. I thought it was under the "tools" menu of Microsoft System Information. I should note that my OEM Windows CD with the proper drivers and other stuff that came with the computer is damaged and unusable. I have another Windows 98CD available that I copied from a friend, but I don't think it's the same version of Win98SE. I haven't really checked it out however. Internet Explorer reports as being version "5.00.2614.3500" The System Control Panel reports that I'm using Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition 4.10.2222 A |

Control Panel-Add/Remove has the Repair option for IE6. I don't recall
if there was a Repair in IE5 but I strongly suggest you upgrade that ancient version of IE for better security. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.com/index.htm On Sun, 16 Mar 2008 21:25:16 -0600, in microsoft.public.win98.internet, SlickRCBD wrote: I rarely use IE for web browsing over Mozilla/Firefox, but a few things are messed up on my old system that I think repairing/reinstalling windows explorer would help fix.

How do I repair IE in Win98SE 4.10.2222A?
I don't use IE for that reason. I keep as much of it disabled as
possible, with nearly all the stuff in "internet options" set to "disabled". I only use the Windows Explorer part of IE. I'm not sure if I'm using the right term, but there are different buttons used when I double-click on "my computer", "my documents", an item on the desktop, etc than when I goto a web site or launch IEXPLORE.EXE. Anyways, are you saying that I should just download & install IE 6 even though I don't use it and don't need it just to repair the busted Windows explorer? There is NOTHING about Internet Explorer or repairing anything in Add/Remove programs, I checked. Control Panel-Add/Remove has the Repair option for IE6. I don't recall if there was a Repair in IE5 but I strongly suggest you upgrade that ancient version of IE for better security. ...Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.com/index.htm I should note that my OEM Windows CD with the proper drivers and other stuff that came with the computer is damaged and unusable.

If you have no such entry, it's because you have NEVER upgraded IE from that
version which came with Windows. Yes, you should install IE6 SP1, even if you never use it, unless you have a VERY specific reason for doing so (application compatibility for example.) Security issues still apply even if you don't actively use IE. IE is an integral part of Windows and gets used even if you don't touch it. No, Windows Explorer is not the same application as Internet Explorer. Period. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "SlickRCBD" wrote in message ... Gary S.
