said: For some reason my IE is unusable (woke up one morning, go online and it just sits there! Got to the stage where I purchased a CD from MS; however a friend told me that he lost his hard drive contents when he tried to remove IE from his hard drive. Is this a common thing? I'd hate to have that hassle! Can I reload IE4.01 on the CD, or would I have to remove the old copies first. I have an error message comes up saying 'MS_webfind .....' not found (I'm too old to remember the whole message! <s> but hope you can help put me in the right direction. My email links direct to IE, so at the moment I have to copy the URL and start Netscape to go where I want to go ....... most annoying! Thank you in anticipation ........ Davie
