My browser crashes for no apparent reason... by this, I
mean that all of sudden it won't bring up any web pages.

This happens several times a day if I'm on that long.
Normally I do a repair using the control panel although
I've down loaded and reinstalled several times.

I've scaned with three updated software pkgs. and nothing
shows...

Using Windows 98

I am having the same problem. It juststarted today. ANy
luck in getting it fixed?

None, nothing... I've been working on this for about a
week. Can't think of much else to do... "New computer?".

I'm wondering what happens if I reinstall Win 98. Anybody
know ?

Like maybe I don't make typos <g>

I've gone through all the steps you've suggested and then
some. Can't even remember how many. I just now deleted
IE 6 and went back to IE 5. See how that works

Thanks... Dick
