Subject: I explore has caused an error in unknown
Comment:

I am trying to upgrade from dial-up to Cable. When I open IE 5.5 I get an error message saying either 1)"I explore has caused an error in Jscript.dll" or 2)"I explore has caused an error in unknown".
Also, on the desktop I get an error message every few seconds reading "Explorer has caused an error in unknown". The computer uses windows ME and IE 5.5. My dial-up connection no longer works. The winipcfg detects the cable modem and the cable company says everything is working fine. I have exhausted all the tech support from cable co. and computer co. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

There are problems now with using IE5.5 because of hacking and the 19 security up-dates that have had to be applied even to IE6.0. The best plan which I have used several times now is to get a full download of IE6.0 or OPERA 6.01 (OR BOTH) UNinstall IE5.5 and INstall IE6.0 as a fresh install and NOT an up-grade. If you can not get to a download site mail me at demographics@wol.be and I will mail you one. As soon as you have IE6.0 installed go to the Windows UP-DATE site and ADD EVERY up-date you can find STARTING with the critical up-dates and for system restore and the IDE hard drive if that is what you have. Clean, defrag and scan add a restore point and you are in business! Iain.

How do I get a full version of IE6? I thought the free MSN disk might have it, but it doesnt. The versions that I can find online are all upgrades that require internet setup and install.
