Recently, I restored my o/s (Windows 95) and experienced a
strange problem with Internet Explorer 5.50 SP 2.

Previously, the menu for "save as/save as type" offered
four choices:

Web Page, complete (*.htm, *.html)
Web Archive, single file (*mht)
Web Page, HTML only (*.htm, *.html)
Text File (*txt)

Now, Internet Explorer only  offers the following two
choices:

Web Page, HTML only (*.htm, *.html)
Text File (*txt)

Yet, if a webpage is loaded from AOL's software interface,
all four choices are available. I do not like the AOL
software and therefore use the MS Internet Explorer and
Outlook Express as my mail client (I use another provider
for email because AOL does not provide for downloading
email to another email client -- at least not AOL version
6.0)

Anyway, I tried the Internet Explorer repair utility,
tried uninstalling 5.5 and reverting to 4.0 and then
reinstalling 5.5 again, etc. several times, all to to
avail. I cannot get the now missing two menu items back. I
especially want the "Web Page, Complete option".

Does anyone know if there is a particular DLL file needed
in the Windows\System directory inorder for the Internet
Explorer menu to properly function?  Why does the AOL
interface of Internet Explorer have all four menu items
whereas the original Microsoft IE no longer does (on my
computer)?

Tnanks for any help offered.

Hi,
I don't have much faith in this answer, but:
198061 - Cannot Save Web Page as a Web Archive File
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;198061
Is Outlook Express working properly? Is OE the default e-mail program in IE>
Internet Options> Programs? Are IE and OE both the same version?

You might try re-registering inetcomm.dll
Start> Run> Type in (or copy and paste)

regsvr32 inetcomm.dll

Press: Enter

Hope this helps,
Don

Hi Don:

Thanks for your reply.

I tried re-registering inetcomm.dll but it did not solve
the problem. BTW, yes OE is my default email client in IE
and both are 5.5; however, IE is 5.50.4807.2300IS SP2, OE
is 5.50.4807.1700 (note: inetcomm.dll is has the same
version number as the OE version number. I checked the
other computer in my house (my daughter's, OS Win98 (mine
is Win95 (950B). The Win98 computer has the same IE, OE
and inetcomm.dll as my computer. Yet IE does not have
the "save as/type" problem that I have on my computer.
Since the AOL version of IE on my computer also does not
have the problem, I am assuming that rather that access a
Windows\System DLL, the AOL directory or subdirectories
must have a file that is accessed by the AOL internal
software version of IE that causes it to have list
the "save as/type" with all four options. I could not,
however pinpoint the file, if in fact my assumption is
correct.

Anyway, thanks again for your reply.
