BIZARRE happenning....

Randall and I are so grateful for this help,
But we thought we should try to give you guys
some rest once in a while...
So we went to Microsoft, their Documentation
section, that some of you often point us to....

Everytime Randall tried to ask a good question
of Maxwell (nerdy looking guy), a dialogue box
would come up and say that WE WERE PERFORMING
AN ILLEGAL OPERATION and that THIS OPERATION
WILL BE SHUT DOWN...or words to that effect....
and poof! we were gone.

We didn't say we were from the Justice Dept. :)
so we don't know why this would happen repeatedly.
Has this been happenning to anyone else...

Is it something we said?........

Are we on some list?...LOL...

Can anyone offer a possible explanation?

    SharonS,

    If you are getting that error repeatedly, it may indicate that your browser is somehow malfunctioning. Go to Start|Settings|Add/Remove Programs. Double-click Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Explorer Tools and click "Remove." You will see a menu which has as one of its choices "Repair Internet Explorer." Try that, and see if it clears up your problem.

    No, you're not on any list, but now that you have called Maxell nerdy, you very well might be the next time you call. In any case, I have found that Maxwell isn't terribly helpful. If you ask him a question such as "Why do I get Error 0E in Internet Explorer 5.01?" he is likely to reply "I don't know that answer, but I know about (1) RAM (2) The Internet (3)telephones--pick one.)"

    Good luck.

    Well,
    Denny, podnuh, I know you give excellent
    information, so I went in there and tried
    to do what you said.
    Well, I have destroyed the networking capability
    of this computer forever....
    But, since we can only afford one right now,
    I guess that is no GREAT loss...
    DID I MENTION WE HAVE SECOND EDITION?

    I went start, settings....
    had to go to control panel,
    to get to add/remove...
    went there....clicked on Internet Explorer Tools...
    No internet explorer by itself...
    It was shaded...
    I clicked remove...
    and my networking capability was REMOVED.

    I never did see any of that other stuff...

    SharonS might be
    chasing me with a frying pan
    if she finds out...
    Randall

    P.S. Just kidding...
    I hid the frying pan, though, just in case.

    Denny,
    If Maxwell's List is the only one I am on,
    then I will sleep well tonight.
    I wonder if he only gets one bullet for his gun,
    too, like ole Barney...

    I will go in and check what you said,
    and let me say also that Sharon and I appreciate
    all the neat signature graphics.

    Like I said, we were trying to spare you...

    Randall
    and Sharon

    See the previous note, please...
    Sorry, but I don't want to lose any more
    of my Windows 98SE...although we just made
    it about 10megs leaner....

    Randall,

    No, you didn't mention Win98 SE. You can always recover by downloading and installing IE 5.01. Do it quickly, before she finds out. Remember, it's always darkest before it's pitch black.

    Thanks. As a veteran Win95 user recently upgraded to Win98 it never occurred to me that Internet Tools would be one of those options.

    We will remember...

    take care of yourself!
    Although, for some reason,
    we are pretty sure you can.

    Gee, now I don't feel so bad about some of the glitches I experienced going from 3.1 to 98SE overnight!

    Denny,
    I understand why you didn't respond now...
    No problem. And hey, I don't think I can
    even begin to say anything negative...
    I realize so many changes, so fast...

    You both said to do the same thing...
    So it must have been good advice.
    I just asked VinTek to explain
    now what I did...

    to keep me out of the doghouse.

    And that is a joke...
    We are still newlyweds
    after almost 8 years...

    guys--I hate to tell you this--but--that is exactly how this lemon started to act up--after barely 48 hours of installation! It went downhill from there--some of which is due to techs not knowing what they were doing!

    Good luck!
