I'm running on Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 3.0 and i would like to know by upgrading to
IE 5.0 by skipping IE4.0 will be succesfull or otherwise?Hopefully it will not corrupt my Windows
95.By the way is there any way to restore back a goodbackup Windows registry in Windows 95
such as "scanreg" which is available in Windows 98.

I would load IE in sequence since each browser contained updated files,so loading IE4,and then IE5.01 W/SP1
Using the Scan Reg utility
Restart the computer
Hold down the Control key after the memory count until the Startup menu appears
Choose "Command Prompt Only"
Type cd\windows\command
Where windows is the namwe of the folder in which windows is installed
AT C:prompt,type scanreg /restore,and then press enter
You will receive notification that you restored a properly working registryRestart computer

Yes you can upgrade to IE 5 in 1 step.
Be aware that some users have trouble uninstalling (for one reason or another) a particular IE.

Try holding down the f8 key befor the splash screen it will take you into safe mode prompt. Select safe mode if your registry is bad it will prompt you to load last good. Do so if it does not email me and I will send other help. zlito@aol.com
