This seems to have resolved itself. I do not know why this was happening and
I do not know how it resolved itself. It has an eerie undertone of a hijack
or a violation of the systems computer security. I hope someone at Microsoft
will look at this Dr.Watson log. tia

Even if you didn't know about this, it is well known that the single
radio button to reinstall IE does NOT work to do anything of the
sort. One must manually recheck each and every box of every item that
you want refreshed in order for those files to then be extracted from
the cab files and then used to overwrite the old files of the same
name and version. Higher versioned files will NOT be overwritten so
in most cases a WinUp update is effectively still installed even
though the registry will say other wise and thus some updates need to
be reinstalled via WinUp site after IE has properly been reinstalled.

The proof of my first statement lies in the different behavior of the
IE wizard when attempting IE reinstallations. Marked files will be
seen to NOT be replaced when using the radio button also.

The first thing most trojans do is defeat the ability of the IE wizard
to reinstall IE in the first place - also a well known aspect of
trojans. A common first symptom is that some custom setting that YOU
have set to protect your own machine from tampering from your kids for
example gets changed by the trojan and now you can't get into that
area either.

You really don't expect anyone at MS to look at any error code
generated on a 9x box at this late date do you? Should they then re-
release Windows 98 after they find the problem and included the fix?
