Win98 fresh intall ... can't access windows update site
I've been experiencing problems that I couldn't debug so I decided to
format. I've formatted this drive a few times over the years and did everything I always did before. I got my ISP up and running but I am unable to get to the windows update site. I'm getting a msgbox error that says Internet Explorer Script Error an error has occured on the script on this page line 25 chr 2 error: snytax error line 25 of the client side generated code is the word "try" within some java tags. i've clicked yes to continue using the page anyways but the update site isn't loading. I'm assuming that it has something to do with the old version of IE that comes defult with win98, but I never had this problem before. Can anyone suggest something ? I tried to run the IE5.5 installer but its not working...its slow and then it stops saying the file could not properly be downloaded. I'm wondering if microsoft pulled 5.5 completly.... Please help -hh |

Well,
after some searching I found a link for IE6 sp1 that would dl from microsoft.com without the script error. So i'm currently dling updates...I guess I fixed my own problem =) To anyone who read this... Do you know why IE5.5 was pulled ? The dl program stops at 1039kb everytime. Even after deleting update folders and whatnot.... I liked my 5.5. -hh "hiphop" wrote in message ... I should add that its IE4.0.

Please help -hh Don't know about the error message, but you may have a CD lying around with IE 5.5 on it, for example an MSN internet CD sent in the mail? A "full package" of IE 5.5 might be upwards of 78MB though, a bit large to download on dialup, though I don't know how little it might actually take to go from IE 4 to 5.5, maybe only 28MB of files. Do you have a CD with v5.5 on it? Are you willing to download 76MB worth of file(s) if you knew where to find them (hint) ? Dave |
