Open the Internet Options applet in Control Panel
Uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions" on the Advanced tab.
You may also have to set the Home Page to about:blank

Then eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back

I was getting the same error - I couldn't even run
explorer, because its so tied in with IE, and it couldn't
find Excel (but Word and netscape worked) - and could only
run Ctl Panel from safe MOde - I did this, and the
settings suggested at the unwanted.htm. And IT WORKED !!!

THANK YOU !!

A knowledgable co-worker had suggested I would have to
reload windows 98 - a very scary proposition.
