Don't even consider reinstalling Windows over such a trivial problem.

Reinstalling Windows is a sure way of making your problem far far worse. You would 
lose *all* your hardware, and *all* your programs; and reinstalling them will be 
a nightmare of lost and missing installation CDs, floppies, and serial numbers.


To locate your current internet connection settings, go to -

 START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > DIAL-UP NETWORKING 

and right-click on the connection icon for your current ISP and select Properties.

Alternatively, look at the e-mail your ISP sent you when you signed up with them, 
and take your settings from there; or phone them up and get the settings from them 
over the phone; or ask them to e-mail the settings to the e-mail address you registered 
with them when you signed up.

Most ISPs publish all the necessary connection settings on their website, and all 
you need to know in addition is your username and password.


To make a new connection, go to -

 START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > DIAL-UP NETWORKING

and then on the menu bar at the top, click on CONNECTIONS, then choose MAKE NEW CONNECTION 
from the drop-down list.


To obtain Internet Explorer, you might be lucky enough to find it on your Windows 
ME installation CD. It is not on the OEM "restore" versions though. It was also on 
the installation CDs for Win 98 and Win 98SE, if you happen to have upgraded to WinME 
from one of those earlier o/s's.
