I recently installed SP1 onto a W98 pc (from the MS CD ROM) and since then everything works fine except for IE6 which takes up to 40 seconds to come on after clicking its link: the hourglass actually disappears and after a while the blue IE 6 screen appears. the pc runs on 64 RAM, is that perhaps not enough? can anyone suggest anything ? thanks, laurence grignolo The NOSPIN Group Promotions is now offering Mandrake Linux or Red Hat Linux CD sets along with the OpenOffice CD... at a great price!!! http://freepctech.com/goodies/promotions.shtml
