I see nothing you have mentioned that calls for that hot fix.

Did you check if you already have the version 6.0.2800.1501 of
Mshtmled.dll?

Strange, on my fully updated (I thought) Win98SE IE, the Mshtmled.dll is
version 6.0.2800.1106.

That's right. My own MSHTML.DLL got updated v.6.00.2800.1555.
However, that hotfix... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896156

You guys are confusing MSHTMLED.dll with MSHTML.DLL.

They're 2 different files.

I downloaded the file. When I executed it, I got a window titled
Error Starting Program. In the window it said "The
c:\WINDOWS\TEMP\7ZS50C0.TMP\SYMNRT.EXE FILE expects a newer version of
Windows. Upgrade you Windows version. It has an OK button. When
clicked, it gives another window that is titled SymNRT.exe and in the
window is a message that says "A device attached to the system is not
functioning" There is an OK button which, when clicked displays
another window titled 7-zip and has the message "can not open file"

What should I do now?

1. Download the Norton Removal Tool, saving it to your desktop:
ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/englis...moval_Tool.exe

2. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the taskbar).

3. Double-click on the file you saved in #1 above to run the utility. Don't
TOUCH your keyboard until the run completes, then reboot.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your

Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you
bought
it)?
