explorer ver.6 & win98

[musician]

Explorer ver. 5.5 or 6 when clicking on some java links it will not render but give me an "error on page" message. This is on win 98 second edition. When I use the same browser ver. on another win 98 machine or a win 95, I don't get these errors. Netscape renders these links fine on all OS's. It just seems to be this one win98 with Explorer. Explorer has been updated and have all updates on this OS.
No virus' detected. Any ideas on this puzzler?
Thank you for your help.

Robert,

Do you have the very latest version of the Microsoft Java VM...3805

Here's alink:

If you still have problems, look in c:\windows for a file called vminst.log. Look over the contents and post back with details.

reghakr,
Here is the vminst.log. Yes I do have the latest version of the java VM 3805.
I might add that I do webpages for different places including the Indianapolis Sym. Orch.

Here also on the internet only, IE6 doesn't render some of the links too but on the home computer, it renders fine, while Netscape doesn't have this problem at all. IE5 on my other computer also doesn't have this problem.
Thanks
Robert

Kento,
I have tried everything that has been suggested but still have the same problem. This problem seems to be associated with this machine and this browser. Same browser on another machine with same OS will render the links fine. Netscape on this machine renders correctly. I am beginning to think it might be windows 98 with some problem file that is causing this to happen. I am able to use IE with most sites 95% of the time with no problem. I may just have to except this.
Thank you
R

Try doing a repair of IE 5.5
Go to add/remove programs and select Microsoft IE 5.5
highlight and click on add/remove.
A menu should come up giving you options to add/remove components as well as a repair installation option.
Choose the repair option and it will prompt for a reboot afterward.
This should clear up the problem if there is a problem with IE.
