441045 2006-03-27 08:49:00 Agreed, but the zillion fixes or patches are so-called security updates. The Win98SE CD installs IE4, I'm sure you will agree that is dated now, as evidenced by your own upgrade to 5.5 (presumably SP1 or SP2).
But whilst upgrading from IE 4, (or is it 5.0?)then it would be far better to go straight to IE 6 SP1.

Thanks Terry,
I have got Firefox on line. It seems that it needs to have a version of IE that is capable of getting online on the hdd first, and then it imports what it needs. I found a friend who loaned me a cd with IE5 on it and I got that online first.

441047 2006-03-27 23:05:00 Anyone installing 98se should use this update to improve the whole shabang.Makes it far more stable and user friendly exuberant.ms11.net It is an unofficial Service Pack for 98se..works very well. I also don't know why anyone would run IE or Outlook for mail when you can have Mozilla..(one of the earlier versions) is my preference which come's with both the Mail and the Browser in one..Nothing wrong with the old version whereas I'm constantly reading about problems some people seem to have with Firefox. cjongreen (7128)
441048 2006-03-28 02:01:00 Tried Mozilla last week - first time it connected, I was informed that I needed to download some plug-ins. Most of the other browsers are much the same - havn't tried Firefox for a while, so it could have improved. Peter H (220)
