I too would say this pc might be a good candidate for linux, you can try it out with out installing it by getting one of the live cd's, you just put it in your cd drawer then boot up the pc from the cd and choose to run the linux cd, you can then test it out and see how it works on that pc, you can try your wireless and see if it finds it and recognizes it, some distros like Mepis have a special built in assistant to aid in things like that. If you like it and everything works well while using the cd you can choose to install it to that pc. But if you decide you did not want to all you have to do is hit shutdown on the pc and remove the linux cd from the drawer, next time you reboot it will be back using your windows. Nothing was changed while using the cd. Here is a site with lists of many linux versions and links to where you can buy them for a few bucks. Linux At the very least I agree with mxyplx get your IE updated or even better go get the firefox browser and use it instead. Firefox Also check the manufacturers site for your wireless card many do offer windows 98 drivers but you have to go get them and install them, did your paper work for your card mention anything about windows 98 drivers?

Have you compacted your messages lately? Open OE, click File/Folder/Compact all folders. Cured? You could try the link at the bottom and do a repair. Or you could try a free online scan for any malware that might have sneaked in. BitDefender, Housecall or Symantec plus others offer free scans Here is a link that might be useful: Repair IE or OE in XP

When I go to that page, it does not list my system information. So I clicked each additional suggestion. No luck. Specifics are: The Firefox plugin is enabled. Nothing happens when I try to open the Java panel. It won't open. The instructions for clearing the cache do not seem right. When I go to the Edit button, I do not have a + or option to expand. So I could not do that one. I did try to find it through tools - options - advanced - network. It says I have no cache being stored for on or offline (I had just run ccleaner before =- so that cleared the cache, I think). I still selected clear now - but I couldn't tell if anything happened. So all the options either showed no problem =- or I couldn't not execute them. Any pointers would be great. Thanks. Lynn.

You might want to view the 'sticky' posts regarding Yahoo at Email Questions to see if any will help you resolve this. There is one about Yahoo customer service there (read the entire thread), but the (updated) phone number shown may or may not work for you.
