USB setup in Win98SE appears to corrupt IE6
I have been trying to install a wireless USB adapter on my T20
Thankpad. When the adapter is first plugged in, Windows detects it and goes through an automatic setup routine. However, when I reboot, I receive a rundll32 error at startup (not sure what program is causing that). And, thereafter, when I open Internet Explorer, it fails to find an internet connection, eventually producing an error message and shutting down. If I attempt further fiddling, I receive a sgtray error (I've never heard of sgtray...not sure what it is) and the system eventually locks up. It appears that the wireless USB device IS working. It can successfully connect to the network router and browse the computer to which the router is attached. However, it appears to "hose" Internet Explorer as noted above. By reloading a restore point, everything successfully returns to functioning as it did before the attempted installation of the wireless adapter. Other USB devices have worked successfully with this computer. Help! Comments??? MTW |

Please refer this question to a general discussion group for your operating
system. This is an OS/hardware problem, not an internet problem, per se. -- __________________________________________ Hyperlinks used to ensure advice is current Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 http://inetexplorer.mvps.org Visit the Internet Explorer Community http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...y/default.mspx wrote in message oups.com...
