...I got you beat, IE5.5 won't work at all for me. Every internet browser under the sun will work just fine except IE. It will install just fine, but when it comes to opening a page: "Page cannot be viewed" or something. It's like it doesn't see my connection, which is absolutly retarded cuz IE has an idiot-proof connection wizard. I can't figure it out, some of my friends think that it might have something to do with my ISP. any ideas would be appreciated, because 'Nutscrape Aggrivator' kinda sux.

My standardized solution to 95% of windows problems is crash and reload. That is: repartition, reformat, reinstall. (applies to every known flavor of windows produced by msft)

After spending 2 hours of registry and .ini tweaking years ago, I found I made slightly more progress (timewise) by reloading instead of just typing and cursing.

I would download 5.5 again from microsoft and try and reinstall it and see if that works. Thats about all you can do, aside for a whole os reload.

Speak softly and carry a big stick. Shooting your mouth off only proves you have a small one...

I got ie5.5 working last night, not sure how exactly. I used a complicated techinique passed down though generations in my family of 'checking' and 'unchecking' the little boxes until it worked.
~if it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is.
