Thanks nass.
I'll look into your various solutions.
I take it that the method I described *was* available only on WIN 98 SE
SP2?......Happy Days!

Running the sfc /scannow command may replace screwed up files, but sfc.exe
does nothing to reregister those files that it replaces. Sfc.exe does not
invoke regsvr32.exe.
Try these.
Start | Run | Type: iexplore /rereg | Click OK
/rereg should reregister all .dll files used by Internet Explorer.
The iexplore /rereg command only works for Windows XP SP2.
If that doesn't help, try these commands in Start | Run.
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
If that doesn't help, try this.

now vanished by itself..... but I'm saving your post, just in case.....
