A client is running w98SE with OE 6 on several machines. On one, following either or both prescribed processes for blocking addresses results in the addresses not being saved when exiting OE 6. On another, attempting to get to the list of blocked addresses (in order to unblock one) results in the hour glass display and the machine locks up, forcing a reboot. Any solutions or suggestions for either or both situation(s)? Thanks.

Personally, drop back to IE 5.5 SP2 on the problem PCs.

I have had so many problems with IE 6 and OE 6 on W98 boxes that I no longer even attempt to install IE 6 on W98 boxes.

If you don't have a copy of IE 5.5 available, you can download it from the browser archive at www.evolt.org

Alternately, check for an updated video driver.
If you can get a video driver that is less than 12 months old for the systems, you may be able to get IE/OE 6 to function properly.
