I could run Explorer 5.5, but never 6.0.
?? 6.0 runs fine on all my 98SE machines.
If you need to get to a later Web site (many don't work with older IE's now),
there is a version of Opera (9.80, Version/10.63) which works under 98SE and
makes most sites accessible. There are only a _very_ few where I have to use
another browser running under a later Windows.

I am 0 for 3 in having IE 6.0 work on my Win98 machines. Just can't connect to the
internet anymore when I do this. Connectivity returns when I downgrade to 5.5. But others
do report having success with 6.0 on Win98, so I'm not sure what's wrong with
me... I'll try Opera, thanks for the tip.

ISTR that IE 6.1 followed 6.0 very shortly. Perhaps 6.1 might do the trick?
