I'm in a really bad bind. My IE6 won't open new windows properly. THAT'S NOTHING. ... I was already in habit of right-clicking, then copying the urls, when I realized that I can't download Critical Updates either. BIG PROBLEM. I go to windowsupdate.microsoft, and do everything I'm supposed to, then when the small download window opens ('Accept'), the browser freezes. Then crashes. Never fails. --- After that, this info comes up as the problem. Microsoft Internet Explorer AppName: iexplore.exe Offset: 00040894 ModName: rpcrt4.dll So I tried downloading rpcrt4.zip and led my browzer (Opera) to unzip it into Windows/System/ -- But it will NOT override the old dll and continues to say it's in process. I've also uninstalled iexplore and then re-downloaded it, and re-installed. What has happened to my IE and what do I need to do to fix it?? Thanks Guys.

I would reinstall internet explorer.

Hi Did a quick search Try replacing the dll Below is a bit from this link which explains it better http://www.springfieldtech.com/Support/Errors/Rpcrt4_Boot.htm "Win 98 After installation or on a boot you might receive the above error trying to open My Computer. To fix this problem put the 98 cdrom in the drive, go to Start / Run type: sfc click OK, select Extract on file from the installation disk, type rpcrt4.dll, click start, when finished reboot. Note: rpcrt4.dll is Windows 98 Remote Procedure Call dynamic link library file and is corrupted. " run "sfc" is the same as clicking (START /programs/asseccories/system tools/system information /tools/System file checker)

Whatif my Windows 98 cd isn't partial to just installing a file or two? When I put it in, it wipes the hard disk clean and re-installs the whole system.

Are there any steps to Repairing the Internet Explorer. I did try reinstalling it twice. No luck just yet.

Hi y'all, Go to add/remove, from the control panel..Highlite the internet explorer,click add/remove,click repair internet explorer.. Hope it helps beansoup

Hi Just a thought, is what you have a quick restore disk only? I haven't worked with one of those, but what happens if you HOLD the Shift key down when you insert the win98 cd. (and hold the key down until the cd has spun up and quitened down - about 10 sec usually) The shift key keeps the cd from loading autorun. If it does run then just exit the setup process. If the shift key stops the cd from loading autorun then Put the cd in after you have the System file checker up on the screen if it makes you feel safer (holding the shift key down). It should not install 98. You definitly do not reinstall but extract 1 file only - the missing dll. After sucsessful extraction if IE doesn't work then reinstall again.
