I've run up against a problem I've never had before and can't find help with .
This was posted 2 days ago. Got one suggestion, off list, to repair Internet Explorer 5.5. Trouble is, it is not listed in the Add/Remove applet, so how do I repair it. ?? Or it a Windows 98 problem ?
Also the original inquiry ( copied below ) still needs an answer, PLEASE, someone give me some help on any part or all of it. I know there are experts out there who have the answer, so  I would really appreciate any help getting this cleared up. THANKS  John

Previuos submission------

Suddenly on this Gateway computer,using Windows 98, it takes about 2
minutes for it to open the SAVE AS and/or the OPEN WITH windows, and it
ALWAYS disconnects me from the internet between the time I click on the
site to save or open , and when that window comes up. It used to open
immediately, like in 2 to 3 seconds.

Also, the curser is locked up until the Open With , or the Save As
window comes up..

 I've run my Norton anti- virus scan, and also checked out both drives
with  Trend Micro's Housecall, and found nothing.

 Nothing new has been downloaded  except Call-Wave, and I have disabled
it, with no change.

 Help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially since
I'm over three quarters of a century old, and not to experienced with a
computer.

 THANKS for any help.  John
