running windows 98, when switching from dial-up to verizon dsl, something happened so i cant use iexplorer without causing illegal operation and shutting down. tried fixing iexplorer- same; loaded netscape-same thing. both dial up modem and dsl modem do connect, but cant use iexplorer.

this began after going thru installation teps for dsl. when at the step to start account, system supposed to access web, but it hung. since then no luck.

used system configuration utility for clean boot-same problem

any help that would prevent me from starting from scratch would be appreciated
