I went to a client who had a windows 98 machine with IE 5 and netscape communicator.He wanted todownload the latest antivirus patch from our intranet site. Whenever he clicks the link windows gives the error: "Plugin did not initialize properly". On the other hand while using Netscape Navigator he is able to open the same.why is it so?

You may have a damaged or corrupt plugin installed. Go to Tools, Internet Options. Click Settings (about half way down on the right). Click View Objects. This will list all the plugins installed in IE. Check the Status column and remove any that may be damaged, etc.. If you still have problems, try removing any that are left. You may have a version conflict between plugins.

Hope this helps.
