Internet Explorer
For some reason, my internet explorer is not working when I click on the
icon on my desktop. It will work when I sign onto AOL but to just get onto the internet, it won't open and it freezes up. I can't even shut down through the "start" menu. I have to actually push the button that turns the computer on and off. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I connect to the internet via a dsl line. I tried re-installing it but it still doesn't work. Any help will be appreciated. Patty |

Go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Information. On the window that opens, click Tools on the tool bar. Select "Repair Internet Explorer" from the drop down menu. When that opens there will be two options. One is to repair and the other is to add new components. Select repair and follow the prompts. When the PC restarts it makes IE the default browser, so if you need AOL to be the default, open its settings option in the tool bar and change it. Alan |

Internet Explorer
Hello Alan,
Whenever I access IE 6, my IE window doesn't open fully and generates an error message. If I either select the maximize screen option or I click and drag to open up the screen, IE generates an error message. I've tried repairing IE 6 from its Repair Dialog box, but it says it'sinoperable. I've reinstalled my Windows 98, but the problem persists. Please help! "Alan" wrote: "Patty" wrote in message ...

Alan Windows 98 has earlier versions of IE built in. To run IE 6 it has to be downloaded from Microsoft and the install replaces the earlier version. Please check all of Frank's advice as you may well have some programs running that are corrupting things. What I would do is look at the add/remove section in control panel to see if any element of IE 6 can be removed. Normally an online upgrade to 6 can be uninstalled by reverting to an earlier version from the Control Panel. If it can be removed, then uninstall 6 and run IE5. Then go to Microsoft and downloaded IE6 with the latest Service Packs and the install. Alan |
