Jeffrey,
If you're trying to run IE 3 and IE 5 from the same Windows 98, I think it
can't be done: you need the right combination of files in your Win98 system
directory and the IE directory. In other words, only one version of IE per
Windows installation. (You CAN get IE 2.0 and one later version to work
together in an NT 4.0 setup, but otherwise, you need a separate Windows
installation for each version of IE.)
Edward
