Windows 98:Internet Problems

Hey hey..well, I'm back again..lol

I currently have Win 98 original now, but for some reason I can't get the internet to work! Everything else that is default works..but my net just won't work. Lets see...for my internet i have rogers high speed cable. From my main internet box or whatever, I am connected to a DLink router [not wireless] Then it goes to my computer which is in a dif room, and I have a Linkys etherfast adaptor because my comp doesn't have a net port at the back...but it works. When I had XP it worked, but now it doesn't. I'm just wondering.. if I click IE or the Internet setup wizard, I get an error. First yellow pops up...

"Failed to load internet connection wizard" OK

then..

"Performed illegal opperation" The name was Icwoobe. I can go to details and there's some coding stuff. Can anyone help? Also, I have my adaptor loaded onto the pc just to let u know

 

Do a search on your machine for icwoobe.exe

If you find it, open it and run directly to connect you.

I did a search..found it under program files/internet explorer.

Now..when you say run directly..what do you mean? I can right click and open it..but same thing happens. What exactly is running directly?

 

anyone else know what he's talking about?

 

Okay, I actually found a link to solve my problem!

However, If i like right click and rename a file..i don't change the .exe..i just change the name. How to I change the whole format. It says that u save as, but if i right click on it..there is no save as! Help please.

 

nvm..i got it working..and now have firefox up and running

 

Sorry Ryan,

My suggestion was no help. I thought you could open the exe and run it but I tried it on a 98SE machine I have downstairs and it didn't work. Got the same error.

Glad you got it figured out. Good job.

Perhaps you can fill us in, or someone else in the future (who does a search) on what you did to fix this!

Thanks!
