Internet explorer crashes when viewing a website with special characters in url. I've searched the knowledge base at msn but it's so difficult to find anything there. Using IE version 6 on Windows 98 se and upgrading to 7 isn't possible w/ 98 and upgrading to xp isn't possible for me at this time on this antique. I use FF as well but need IE to work for other websites. Anyone know of a fix for this annnnnnnnoooooooooooooying problem? Thanks so much!

It sounds like you are saying this *used* to work.
(I haven't given Internet Exploder 'Net access since 2002,
so I'm not used to giving IE advice--except for DON'T.)
