i've got some sort of problem with my laptop running win98. i can no longer use the internet. everytime i click on the internet explorer icon i get a pop up that says something like "this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shit down." when i close that i get another one that says there was an internal error and one of the windows i was using will be closed, please restart computer, etc. i get the same thing when i try to click on some other icons on my desktop. other than that everything works fine. is it possible that i have a virus? i don't know enough about computers to pinpoint the problem, but i'm starting to get really desperate.
please help me guys!!!!!!! you're my last hope!!!

i had an old copy of norton anitvirus that i ran, but it came up clean. it's a few years old though so i'm not sure if it even helped. i have no internet access what so ever, so i'm fucked.

Brilliant! A crash whenever Internet explorer is started and you help by sending him a url! I love it!
:p

If there's some way to do a "repair install" from the original cd you might try that. Can't remember with win98. I doubt it's a virus

Agreed - more likely the registry is toasted. Not a whole hell of a lot you can do about that.

i'm now back on track, but it came at the price of formatting my hard drive. after an hour of yelling and throwing shit all over my room, i'm now relaxed and ready to reacquire my goods. thanks for the help anyway.
