Problem with Internet Explorer

[Guest KanadianKrusty]

Okay, I can't download anything with IE (5.5),I either get an error message or it loads forever but the download never starts, anyone knows what could cause this?, I'm guessing that it's just IE being ghey but how the hell do I get it to work?.

Some details would help. What kind of error message, what are you trying to download, did you try re-installing IE, did you recently install any kind of service pack, did you try IE 6.0 instead, does it work with download managers, what Windows version do you use etc etc.

What kind of error message

Don't remember, I haven't got one in a while, most of the time the download window just loads forever.

 

what are you trying to download

Games, Flahs player, various stuff.

 

did you try re-installing IE

Yep, didn't work

 

did you recently install any kind of service pack

nope

 

did you try IE 6.0 instead

yep, but it doesn't work either, and it's slower so I'll go back to 5.5 in a few minutes

 

does it work with download managers

Yes, I tried GetRight and it works

 

what Windows version do you use

Win 98 2nd edition
