Sorry, but have you ever heard about "Never touch a running system"?
Best solution will be going back to IE5.5SP2+Security Updates. W98 isn't an OS for real prof use.

I dont think that upgrading to IE 6.0 was your problem. I would try to run a virus scan on your machine with the current definition files. The main reason you should be running IE 6.0 and NOT IE 5.5 or below, is because it has serious security flaws. This is how the Nimda virus was being passed around. I would check your machine for that virus if you are just now upgrading to version 6.0 that very well could be your problem. As far as your links not opening, let me know after you try this and I will give you more ideas to try!

Hope that Helps!
