Greetings!
Using packard bell computer with windows 98. My dial-up server went out of business and directed us all to earthlink. My internet worked fine with old server, but now we have had problems. We corrected a modem config problem, but now, we get the following error message EVERY time we try to open explorer (home page is yahoo.com):
"MSN has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the incovenience."
Went to the microsoft knowlege base and found that this is a recognized problem with IE 6 with service pack 1. The remedy given was to download and install : cumulative Security Update 896727 MS05-038.
BUT how do I get it installed if I cannot connect to the internet without receiving this message and having everything shut down.
