Imagine that!
You're using an ancient version of a browser and you're having problems.

With a system that runs M$IE AND hasn't been updated,
I'm shocked that you aren't infected beyond belief.


Under W98,
you shouldn't be using ANY of the crappy browsers that M$ passes out. 
STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER.

This is what the US Government's computer experts (CERT)
have to say about Internet Exploder: 
cache of http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/323070
Note the date at the bottom of the page.  (NONE of the problems were EVER fixed.)


|I cannot access Yahoo Mail and Gmail for whenever I do so,
|the message "The page cannot be displayed..." appears.
|
The nerve of these people--expecting 21st Century security in a browser.

Get yourself a copy of
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox
   and/or
http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=windows

Both  are free.

Install it/them and use it/them.
