I've looked at the other posts on this forum and have tried but hasn't worked, not sure what I'm doing wrong. When I had 98 I ran a program called spider that allowed me to view/read (and delete if I wanted) my index.dat file. I purchased a new computer that has XP and I'm not able to get spider to work.
