IE 6 won't work on many Win 98/ME machines. It was really designed for XP. The
security updates that apply to IE6 won't even work on a Win 9X system as it (Win
9X) is designed totally different than XP. So even though the some updates may install,
they are useless in a Win 9X system according to MS.
Your machine may not be up to handling IE6 as it takes a lot more "horsepower" to
run it than it does IE5. So your machines specs alone could cause you to have problems
with IE6 IME. (In My Experience) Most all experts, and my own experience, will tell
you that IE5 is the best choice for Win 98. The recommendation is that you don't
fall more than 2 versions behind in the browser catagory. IE7 has been out a while
now and IE8 on the horizon, so support for IE5 is disappearing sadly..
Also, only older versions of firefox will work on Win 9X so you run into the same
issues as with IE when it comes to running updated add-ons's...
