How many Gig of mp3s do you have Marjorie?
A DVD burner might be a better option than a CD burner.
OE4.72 was a slight upgrade in Win98 1st ed installed by Win98SP1. I am not sure
why it is still there unless Windows restored it from backed up files after you deleted
OE6. I vaguely recall reading about some kind of problem when OE4.xx was upgraded
directly to OE6.0 but I don't remember what it was. It was NOT an issue when upgrading
4.xx to 5.xx and then 5.xx to 6.0
Do you have the installation files for IE6SP1 on CD? If not I suggest you download
it and back it up. There are other files that get updated besides IE and OE.
ERPMan has a good collection of updates....for as long as it lasts.

Here is a link to the full browser IE6SP1.

I have my mp3s backed up on an external hard drive, a 160GB drive in an external
hard drive case bought separately.
In general, it is a good idea to have a second drive as a slave to store your important
files instead of the same drive or partition where Windows is installed. Time and
time again people have a Windows problem requiring a reinstall and their important
files are stored on the drive that needs to be reformatted. If their files were stored
on the slave it would not be a problem. Unfortunately some computers are built to
accomodate only a single hard drive.
