While using Internet Explorer computer will reboot on some web pages. If I go back to the same sites it will occur every time. I can go to the same sites with Netscape and it will load and I have no problems.
I am using Win 98. When it reboots it will also change my clock year to the next year. In 2000 it went to 2001 and now in 2001 it goes to 2002. Please contact me with a solution.

Try choice 2 .
W95 you have 3 choices . With W98 , if you have IE5.1 or higher & you
still have IE4 installed the following applies . No IE4 only 2 choices .
IE5.5 if over the top of 5.1 , offers 3 choices .

You can install IE5.1 straight over 4 . A big feature with IE5 is that
it can be repaired without uninstalling . Here is how to do it . Open
Control Panel , Add / Remove , click on Microsoft Internet Explorer ,
then click on add / remove down the bottom . This opens a window with
3 choices .

Choice 1. Add , insert your IE5 install program & you can find other
items you may not have installed 1st time .

Choice 2. Repair , fixes problems that may crop up with IE5 / Outlook

Choice 3. If unfixable , removes IE5 & goes back to IE4 , now if you
want to you can reinstall IE5 or a later version or another browser
altogether .

1. Restart the computer in DOS
renamed the Cookies, History and Temporary Internet Files folders.
2. In Control Panel => Add Remove => Iexplorer and Internet Tools => Add Remove and select the Repair option for Iexplorer
3. Scan your computer for any virus.
