IE 5.5 crashes/invalid page faults...what to do? 4

[richardhot]

I use Win98SE box.
Keep getting "Illegal Operation"/"Will Close Down" message in IE 5.5 browser...

What to do if anything? Settings changes? To what?

Redownloading IE 5.5 only solution?

Thanks.

Query...

I have IE5.5....don't think I have SP2..I've held off on downloading IE6.0 for the time being, fearing new headaches...

Is it a net plus at this stage to download SP2 or a net minus?

If a "net plus", would I simply go to Microsoft web site? Windows Updates (Start/Settings)?

Thanks to all, richardhot

Footnotes:

1. Forgot to mention: have done Control Panel/Add/Remove Programs/IE 5.5/ Repair

Don't know if that has done the trick yet...will report back

2. Think I still have IE 5.5. Install exe sitting in Windows:\Temp folder, so could reinstall, I guess, if I had to...

Footnote to Footnote!
Forgot: did run System File Checker and found one entry about hh.exe has been replaced...think that's ok...

Richard,

If you want to update your IE5.5 here is a link for 5.5 SP2.

All you have to do is start the download, run it, and it will check for which files you need.

Good luck, and Happy Computing

Update....

Due to minor but annoying bugginess in IE5.5, I followed the advice and went to IE5.5/Sp2.
Seems to be working fine so far.

Figure going step by step this way, lets me see what works and keeps IE6/SP1 in reserve as a final option.

Thanks to all,
