Each in his own way.

I was rebutting your blanket statement about Firefox and W9x.
See also "at a later point in time", below.

|
...and as I pointed out, the correlation is in all likelyhood coincidental
...or haven't you ever had something in a M$ ecosystem *just break*
without doing something to cause it?
|the best course of action for her is to try to get back to that condition,

|
I'm failing to see how the application is causing a broken device driver.
The logical action is to address the driver directly.
...and simply uninstalling the suspect app will clarify any doubts. Software 101.
|Since she was plainly not running the KernelEx software
|(hardly any Win98 users have ever heard of it),
|her problem can have nothing to do with that software,
|
Your point about *that software* echos my point about *the application*
(i.e. not connected).
|and she should therefore NOT be invited to install it.
|
I continue to point out that M$ **isn't** the _only_ source of code.
I continue to offer choices.
Folks are free to embrace that information now or at a later point in time.
Folks are also free to ignore what I say
and remain mired only in Redmond's payware from 1999.
With the OP's interest in Firefox 3, I'd say she's interested in real improvement.
