Internet Explorerer download has had problems from start.

[Guest]

I origionally used the Internet Explorer that came with my Windows 98SE CD.
When I downloaded the upgrade to Internet Explorer 6 my problems seemed to
start.

First when I go to certain webpages I get the message that Internet Explorer
has made an illegal operation or something like that and that it is going to
shut down.
I then down loaded the latest Netscape and it runs fine.

Today I have a new problem. When I make changes to banners on my web site,
Netscape sees all my changes in the banners whether directily off my hard
drive or off the server. When I use my Internet Explorer I can see the
banners by opening the file of my webpage off the hard drive. But when I
view the same page from the server for my web page, the banners are not
there. I have had two other people view my web page using Internet Explorer
and they have no problem seeing the banners.

The version of Internet Explorer 6 is 6.0.2880.1160

I never heard of an IE with that version number.

For the second problem go to Tools | Internet Options and click the Delete
Files button. On the next screen check the box to Delete all offline
content.

For the first problem eliminate any scumware.

http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html

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:
