Well I downloaded it from the link you gave and it was a 12mb zip file I unzipped it and it is IE 5.0, don't know how you got a wordpad file that big.
If you are looking for a FREE anti-virus then here is a free scan Housecall
You get what you pay for. It is worth the small investment for a anti-virus program, if you spend a lot of time on-line and download crap.
I am an advocate for Norton Anti-Virus, but thats me.
oops, yeah you're right I just looked on a Win 95 box I updated and it's IE 5.5.50Quote:

Just thought I's pass this info on.

but I don't think it's issue of not being compatible
since windows 98 can install it
it more of a matter of microsoft making it impossible to install on windows 95
in one of the previos posts i said that opera has its own download manager and because i didnt reboot after i deleted it i assume that s why it turned into a word pad thing .. i assume all this crap has been caused by the opera browser but im not sure really
i cant belleive this computer ,, i deleted dial up networking in control panel .. it didnt even ask are you sure then click yes
i reboot and its not listed but im able to log onto internet anyway.. so it was not deleted even though its not listed .. who knows what else is there even though i deleted it.. ive never seen anything like it
i just formated and am reinstalling everything
thanks
The NetZero CD should have DUN 1.3 and the Winsock 2.0 update already on it. Explore the CD and have the view options set to 'show all files'.
Install the DUN upgrade first, as my understanding and experience is that it will overwrite Winsock 2.0 files if it is iinstalled last.
At least this is how it is with the Juno CDs. And my understanding is they are the exact same thing with different names from the same company.
Also the Speedband thing does not agree with some firewalls. Such as ZoneAlarm for example.
P.S. Its probably a better idea to uninstall Dial Up Networking using the SETUP function that is with the Add/Remove programs control panel function.
ok thanks .. it works ok but im sort of leary of winsock 2.o from microsoft and free net zero
earthlink works ok
With all the deletions of software and the incompatability of certain software. I would format and reinstall Win95b with IE 5.5, and Grisoft av. always a easy install that way! Say good riddens to all the problems your having. Net zero will even work in this configuration No Problem!
I'm not sure what you are talking about here. I think the only way you are going to get Winsock is the MS version. Unless you wish to program your own. Net Zero is no longer free I don't think.Quote:

Also you can get IE 5.5 off of the AOL CD's that are everywhere. Explore the CD and go to view-options, then select show all files. In the AOL 7.0 folder is a folder that says browsers. Open it and inside is the install program for MSIE 5.5. Its the MSIE 9x program. You DO NOT need AOL installed on your computer for this to work as some may tell you. However, AOL does brand the titlebar with their signature and little 'throbber' in the right hand corner. Instructions how to get rid of this can be found on 95isalive website in the Internet Explorer section.
The only shortcoming is this IE 5.5 does not come with the SP2 update.
These CDs also contain the install program for the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine so you don't have to download that either.
thanks ,, i got real player of of a office max cd for earthlink or something
