7160 2000-11-19 07:17:00 Have just upgraded from Win 95 to Win 98SE as was geeting system freeze/hang occasionally - mainly Word.
However, in Win98 got freeze when on Internet after just a few minutes - tried updating IE5 to IE5.1 - made no difference.
Then installed Netscape and got same sort of resultss.
So, since that was worse, Uninstalled win98 back to 95 - going downhill now fast because cannot get IE or Netscape to connect
Reinstalled Win98 as assumed Uninstall stuffed it.
Problem persists.
When starting IE5 I get 'Cannot find server' message - no attempt to connect to modem/dialup.
On Netscape get 'Unable to create network socket connection'
On Gozilla get 'Windows sockets initialisation failed'


Have no problem actually connecting to my ISP via dial-up connection - it's getting the browsers etc.
Looks like a TCI/IP or the like problem but don't know where to go now.
(will call Microsoft tomorrow but don't expect any help from them going on past experience)

Help please!!!
