    Internet Exp closes at logon screen
    « on: December 06, 2007, 12:55:38 PM »
    Hi, running w98se with a recent new installation -  ie5.5 worked fine with install from w98 disk, but when I upgraded to ie6  I get an error message that ie has encountered an error and needs to close down at any web site I try to open [such as this one] that requires a logon and pw.  When I enter my name and pw up comes the error box and ie shuts down.  It seems to have something to do with Visual Basic and msvcrt.dll. I don't have VB installed and I have tried downloading and installing the dll file in ie without result.  I have also downloaded and re-installed ie 6 and also service pack 1 for ie6 without result.  Strangely enough logon to encripted sites  such as my Bank and Mastercard works fine!
    I downloaded Firefox to post this cry for help as I cannot log on with IE.
