Bart, that is something of a catch-22. I run Win98 and Bill Whats-his
name's IE is so integrated in that I can't sensibly remove it :(
I have never used IE or any other MS application. I run Opera/
Thunderbird/Gravity and SYGATE Pro 5.5. Sygate has served me well
for about 4-yrs without any problems.
You might want to get a copy of Sygate before it gets "improved with
the bloats".
