Browser Problems
Dear sister Mary Ann,
I would start by installing the latest version of Internet Explorer. Today’s web sites take advantage of the latest technologies in web browsers. If your browser is too old, it may not be able to process the new style web transactions it receives.
To make sure you have the latest version of IE that is supported under Windows 98, go to
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
On that page, follow the “Scan for updates” link. This will look through your computer and then give you a list of Windows software updates that have been released since you installed Windows. This list will probably be rather large since you’ve probably never done this before.
In that list, there should be mention of an IE 5 or IE 6 update. Windows 98 supports IE 5 but I’m not sure about IE 6. Each list item has an Add button. Press this for the IE update and then press the Install Now button at the top of the list.
This may solve your problem. However, you really should upgrade to Windows XP. Windows 98 is getting very old and won’t be supported by Microsoft much longer.
