On my win 98 se machince i revently downloaded and installed IE 6 after that whenever i open any page it gives the following massege:
"Internet Explorer cannot open the search page"

It was working fine with IE 5 and also it is working fine if I boot through windows 2000.

Do i have to remove IE 6 if yes how and how to install IE 5 again on win 98se.

What might be the problem and how to solve it ?

Open the Control Panel,double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon,select IE and click the Remove button,choose the option to Repair

The other option would be to restore the previous version oF IE and the reinstall IE6

If you elect to remove IE6use the utility IERadicator a free download

I found I could not get ie 6.0 to run on my 98SE box. I removed and reinastalled ie 5.5 and everything was fine. I did find ie 6.0 runs on my win 2K and XP boxws fine. But, again I could not get it to run on win 98SE.

If I am understanding correctly, you have a dual boot system.

Did you install the correct version of IE6?
There are seperate downloads for each version of the OS.
I have had zero problems with IE6 on W95 and W98 machines. I do perform pretty much a full install.

In Internet options (under tools) go to the advanced page and scroll down till you see search, here you have some options, I suggest choosing do not search from address bar.
Hope this helps.
