XP crashes IE

[DaBishop]

I installed an XP home edition upgrade to my Windows 98.
Now I can't launch IE. I get a popup window that says
fatal error closing program. The detail report says:

Data Error report:
AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106 ModName:
kernel32.dll
ModVer: 4.10.0.2222 Offset: 0000a138

Then there are about a thousand lines of numbers and
gibberish which cannot be cut and pasted.

The modem connects with no problem, but IE will not launch.

So, I uninstalled Windows XP, and now I can't launch IE on
my Windows 98! I get the same error message.

I am sending this message from another computer, since I
can no longer connect to the Internet on the computer that
XP crashed my IE.

When I turn on or reboot my computer, I get a message that
says: UNABLE TO LOAD 'RECAPI.DLL'. PLEASE REINSTALL THIS
PRODUCT.

I have no idea what recapi.dll is, or how I might go about
reinstalling it. Could this be the problem?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

To be honest I think the best thing to do here is just format the drive and
start with a fresh install of XP. I never liked upgrading over older
versions, especially going from a 9x based system to one based on NT.

As above, I have never known an upgrade from 9x to xp to be succesful, you
should only ever do a clean install. It's a case of Microsoft packages being
incompatible with themselves as is frequently the case. If the system though
is functioning well in every other respect then download firefox browser
which is better and far, far safer
