Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / July 2003IE 6.... hate it!
I've had so many problems since upgrading to IE6. My computer sucks up memory like crazy, ONLY when I'm on the net. So much in fact, I finally freeze up and have to reboot. Trying to surf the net has become an all day job. Everything is so slow. I've downloaded all the patches, nothing helps. I sure miss IE 5.5. Microsoft has NO help in any of their support pages, I've been searching for months. Their knowledge base has no help. The answer I received from a Microsoft certified friend of mine explained that IE6 was programed to work with Win2000 and up. This is what is causing all the problems with Win98. It has something to do with the way the OS deals with memory and certain settings that Win98 doesn't have. As much as I hate to do it, I'm being forced by Mircrosoft programmers to reformat my hard drive, reinstalling Win98SE and NOT upgrade the Internet Explorer. Thank you Microsoft. Kathy, This may not solve everything for you but before you go the whole reformat route,- might not be necessary anyway. Try this to return to Ver.5.5 . Control panel>add/remove programs>select IE6 with SP-1>add/remove button. Then when the dialog box appears>restore to previous version. If you are running W98se I have found IE6 SP-1 to run quite well with my system. But you did state W98 so I guess that is what you have, still it *should* work fine anyway. You may also try a repair of IE6, same dialog Box. Once done I hope you will get the result you desire. HTH - Post back to this thread.
