I am running windows 98 with ie 6.0. My question is "everytime I click on a link, I have to hit "STOP" then "REFRESH" for the window to open and reveal the site. What is causing this to happen?

This sounds like a problem with IE. When you first click on the link IE submits the URL and waits. Then when you click the stop and refresh buttons, IE then resubmits the URL and most likely a different internet path is used to get the info. Unless you have some proxy server or firewall running on your computer IE should work the first time. I would uninstall IE using the aplet on the control panel and install it again (using the control panel) as the most likely method of getting it to work right.
