have you looked at tools and settings? You have to tell IE where to look, like dialup or proxy or lan...

Are you ready for where Microsoft wants you to go today?

I have IE 5.5 on my 98SE computer and I frequently encounter web sites that do not display properly because it is that version - e.g. Asus, ATI.
I recommend you upgrade to IE 6.

Last time I Re-installed Win2000 which comes with IE5 I forgot and installed Yahoo toolbar before upgrading to IE6. IE crashed everytime I attempted access. That is when I remembered I hadn't upgraded.
