Reinstalled 98, Can't update 98 because of crashing on microsoft site

So I reinstalled win98 and got online with IE 4.0, now I know I need to update it 
so I go to Microsoft.com. I try and get to the download section to get a new ver. 
of IE, but everything is all screwed up. Some text is super small and some pages 
won't load at all. 
I search around on the net for another browser but the site either locks me up or 
when I do actually download a browser such as IE5 and try and install it I get the 
message that "the download location is damaged, please clear your browser cache". 
I delete 
temporary internet files and try again and it says the same thing.  I think maybe 
another brower might let me access the microsoft site so I can update 98, I download 
and install netscape communicator which doesn't crash as much but still won't let 
me use 
the microsoft site.  On other sites some of the text turns into a bunch of square 
when I first open the page and text is overlapping and looking weird.

So, what should I be trying to do to fix these problems.

Thanks
