Sorry,
It is windows 98 and IE 5.5....... how do you do a repair on it?? I can't open a browser window to re download ie5.5 and can't open my computer or control panel to uninstall it and revert back to 4.0 that is on win98?? How else would that be done??

Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Select IE5.5 > Click "Add/Remove"> In the pop-up, select "Repair".

Have you ran an anti-virus on the machine? I ran into this some months back and it was a virus that caused it.

Try F-Prot, here are the instructions and here is the download. Get f-prot for dos. HTH
