I have Optimum online. My internet explorer(6.0) keeps closing down every time I try to put info into a info field on a web page. Anybody have any idea why this happens??? I also get error 29 messages when trying to open up folders in windows explorer, My Computer. I* have looked all over the internet and in books. The only solution I can come up with is to reload the whole operating system or upgrade to XP. Please, I'm desperate. John D. Barbato, OD It's not a Virus or adware infestation. This computer was virgin to the internet until yesterday and the Windows explorer problem has been there about a year. It just was never bad enough to bother me, and since I never used Internet explorer, I never knew it had a problem. I tried to update internet explorer and upon reboot i got an error message that windows was unable to complete it's update. John D. Barbato, OD
