> If all else fails, I guess I'll turn to this. I really hope that it won't some to this though. Many people have said that if I try to delete IE5, it completely screws up Windows, and I don't have a Windows CD without the install file for all the Packard Bell stuff on it too (I don't want to have to mess with THAT ever again). The second problem with not having a 'real' windows CD is that It's hard to re-install drivers. Last option, I guess....

If you want to get IE out of Win98 entirely, I'd reccomend using 98Lite. It's a third-party utility you can get at http://www.98lite.net. It'll remove the entirely of the browser, but if you want the MSHTML engine removed, you need to get the full commercial version. Of course, the MSHTML engine is huge and disgusting, but doesn't really do much by itself, so probably isn't the source of the problem.
