I have a problem with I.E. 5 on Win. 95.When I first start up the browser it says to check my content advisor because it may have been tampered with. I say o.k. and when I try to load a page its says "action canceled" and no page comes up. After many uninstalls and installs no luck. I never touched the content advisor. I don't want to reinstall Windows if there is a way around this? Someone please e-mail me if you have the solution to my problem?

IE5.5 has many bugs. It has slowed down many of my Win95/98/NT4 machines. Frames don't always come in correctly, text is thrown all over the place, etc. Upgrading to 5.5 is not a good idea.

Have you installed any patches to IE 5?? There are some service releases and 5.1 had a couple of bugs. I would suggest going to 5.5.

Good luck.

Start with checking your Content Advisor...most likley, everything is ok. Go through all the settings in your Internet Options box. Delete all file histories. If the first page says action cancelled, try loading another page...if it loads successfully, it may ignore the error next time you load the browser.

Upgrading to one version over the other, is a personal choice, read the docs on each first. But here is the twist, you may want to check out NetScape, it doesn't cache all of your passwords and ID's it is more secure. 7.74 works well, and so does 7.75.

disable the content advisor - tools, internet options, content, enable, or change the settings from there to the default
