Hi!

I am running Windows 98 on my computer. My son attempted to download a screen saver for the top of the AOL Instant Messenger screen. Now he has problems opening up Internet Explorer. Have to right click and hit open. When he doubles clicks it just hangs there. A lot of crap got downloaded which I deleted.

I wanted to know how to restore Internet Explorer to where it was prior to him attempting to download something. Do I go to Add/Remove Programs and do it from there?

What do you suggest?

Unless you have something like Norton or Roxio, you can't "restore" IE. You can, however, repair it.

Go to Start. Click Run. Type: msinfo32
When it opens, Click Tools. Click Internet Explorer Repair Tool.
It may tell you that you can't repair, in which case you will have to reinstall. Settings/emails, etc; should be unaffected.

I went to http://www.optonline.net/Home
I don't have anything through them, but when I click the webmail button on their page, I do get a log-in page for mail.

....if that helps you at all.

On the log-in page, I see this reference to Java. Is it possible your Java is disabled?
