Does your PC with Win98 work properly before, and the problem with iexplore appears now? If this is the case, then you should restore registry from backup, if you did it. In another case you should to clean reinstall Win98. 2. I don't understand what motherboard resources in device manager. They don't work properly (yellow ???). Note that an intrinsic matherboard device couldn't be deleted in the device manager. You should to install properly drivers from the motherboard CD (or from the mobo manufacturer) to work properly with the operating system. I think that these devices have no influence on explorer/or iexplorer. However, when you have some conflicts between hardware and software you can get this case. You can try "SiSoftSandra" utility to see these conflicts. But there are cases that these conflicts are hidden and you cann't see them by any progs, howerver in this case your win98 should work unstable from the first install! In any case win2k/or Win XP are more stable operating systems and they can work stable even in the case of the hidden conflicts (when win98 and win Me are permanently crushed). Furthermore, they have intrinsic utilities to control these conflicts. -- Best regards, Yakymakha The NOSPIN Group Promotions is now offering Mandrake Linux or Red Hat Linux CD sets along with our NOSPIN Power Linux CD... at a great price!!! http://freepctech.com/goodies/promotions.shtml
