It sounded great that you could really quatboot with Win XP ! Thanks for the infos ...

Thanks, Mulga for this wonderful info ! It is great comfort to know that Win XP provides this dual Boot option.

I am planning to install both Windows XP and Windows 98 SE on my system ( Celeron 900 ) but wondering how to best implement this scheme. I have a choice to use : Boot Magic v7.0, System Commander v7.02 and Boot Manager v7.30 Bootstar. As I never used any of these programs before, please comment...

Thanks for tips... The .dll files were overwritten without notification and not deleted by me. So there is no point looking in the recycle bin in the first place ! I did use a file recovery tool but got no luck with it! Perhaps , I'll try "Go Back"next time to figure out the version...

Some rogue programs overwrote 2 files shfolder.dll and shlwapi.dll in my system ( Win98 SE, Celeron 900) . Now Windows Explorer cannot start ( an error message appeared : This program has performed an illegal operation...) . I clicked on details and found this message : " Explorer caused...

Eureka ! Eureka! The problem is solved in an unexpected way ! And as I guessed it was due to an unknown program that replaced a .dll by another version . The curcumstance is interesting enough: I unloaded Zone Alarm Pro to reinstall my familiar firewall "BlackIce defender" but I...

I unloaded Blackice v2.5ch and loaded up Zone Alarm v2.6 .It had no effects at all : the same problem as before . So it most likely has nothing to do with firewall softwares . It is interesting to note here that I used "BlackIce" for about 2 months and everything functioned normally...

Thanks, reghakr , for the info. I did not have this type of softwares thanks to "Ad-aware " :-) ! I just D/L Opera v6.0 today and loaded on . It worked just fine , no problem at all. Does this means it's time to say goodbye to IExplorer or reformat the disk and start from ground...

Thanks, reghakr, for the hints. I unchecked "Enable third-party browser extensions." but it has no effect. Could you please elaborate on "programs that hooks into" Internet Explorer ? How can I identify them ? Thank you.

Thanks, reghakr, for your tips. Your point about double-checking and not too trusty with "big name" softwares is well taken . I'm grateful for for these precious advices as I am fighting a loosing battle against my weakness in playing around with new softwares .Some guys get their...

Thanks ,Crisc and smitee , for your kind suggestions. 1)"Window Washer 4.1" is an excellent Internet cleaner that clean everything for you after each Windows restart (or any time you so desire ! ) . I did try Crisc's tip but still no result ! 2)As for "seeming to hang" ,I...

I installed IExplorer 6 , used "System File Checker" to double check system files. Everything run normally until I tried to access another site from within a given webpage ! The same problem occured : IExplorer hang and I had to click "stop" then "Refresh" to...

Hello Tsuji, Thank you for your suggestion which I carried out right away . The current file <shdocvw.dll > appeared OK as it had exactly the same size as you indicated. But I still renamed it and replaced it by another copy from my older PC ( also Win98 SE) . Still, the problem remains . It is...

Thanks , reghakr, for the recommendation . As I mentioned above, I have done the following but still to no avail : 1) Check IExplorer 5.5 files using Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Information/Tools/IExplorer Repair Tool/ 2)Check System files using...

Some additional infos : I installed &quot;Opera 5.12&quot; (Java version) to check out if it was Win98 SE or IExplorer 5.5 problem ! Opera 5.12 worked just great and had no problem at all ! I guess this might be a IExplorer problem after all ! Please suggest a solution . Thanks,
