Can't browse any websites

Can't browse any websites
Wed, 19 Jul 2006 10:06:01 -070
I have a Win 95 computer I'm working on.  Internet Explorer (3, 5 or 5.5) 
will not let me browse the internet.  It gives me a website not found error.  
It seems like it's not even trying.  I can browse the internet with Netscape 
just fine, so I know I'm connected.  Any ideas?

First, clear your History and TIF folders.

Boot to DOS (Start...Shutdown...Restart in MS-DOS mode)
Go to C:\Windows
type -- smartdrv -- <enter> - gets rid of all that disk thrashing
type -- deltree history -- <enter and y to verify> - to clear History
type -- deltree tempor~1 -- <enter and y to verify> - to clear TIF
Reboot
