Replacing Missing files & Internet Problems

Everytime i try to open a certian type of file an error appears saying can not find Netscape.exe. What is this caused by and how do I fix this? also, the internet works but almost everytime I log on with DSL, an error message pops up saying an illegal operation has occured and internet explorer will now close. What is this caused by and can I fix it?

 

You can try a "Repair" install of WinXP, but if it still does not fix it, the only way would be to do a Fresh install of XP by formating and reinstalling the OS.

 

Certain type of file??? What is the extention of it???

What operating system? What browser are you using?

 

I have win98se

 

Not the operating system, eg win98se, but the file, eg text.txt or text.doc. The last 3 letters in the file name.

What one when you click on it gives you trouble?

What is the file?

 

when a game site sends me a new game to play or download i get the following mess.windows cannot find netscape exe. the url needed is url: hyper text tranfer protocol. also when i try to get on yahoo and others it say internet explorer has occured a problem and will shut down. you click on okay and back to your front page you go. does this help?

 

Do you have netscape installed? If so reinstall it. See what happens.

No go...try this>

Got your install disc of '98 handy? If so go to your control panel/add remove programs.

Find internet explorer & select it for deletion. Don't worry a box will pop up asking if you want to repair IE. (you will need your '98 disc)

Do a repair & see if that fixes it.

 

I went to add-remove programs and clicked to delete internet explorer and it did delete. The only thing that popped up was a message saying "your computer will now convert back to your previous configuartions." I restarted the computer and checked the internet but I was still having the same problems.

 

You've got one weird system there. I have not got a 98 disc so can't tell you where to go but try & find the installer/setup for internet explorer & try installing it again.

Why a box did not popup I don't know. You should find the needed exe file in the win98 folder on the disc.
