    @JoeM: "I am running win 98 SE. So far I ran "RUNDLL32  SETUPWBV,IE5Maintenance", then
"regsvr32  c:\windows\system\jscript.dll". I then installed the latest 
windows script 5.6 (scr56en.exe). Btw, the internet tools fix log shows 
jscript.dll to be version 83.161.120.15501. Since I installed the latest scripts 
after running the tool, the properties box shows the version of jscript.dll 
now to be 83.161.120.15525. Should I run internet tools again so it works with the 
more recent script files or is it enough that they exist in the right 
directories? 
I'm a little leary of using IEradicator unless I have to - don't want to 
make things worse. Does it really work or will it break something else?
Thanks for the help so far.

    @notme: "Joe,
IEradicator will not break a thing in Win9x.
Before that you can try running the repair tool again and select add a
component.
Select ALL the components, and IE should reinstall everything.
Have you tried reinstalling Windows on top?
All the software and most configurations will remain, and only the OS will
be refreshed.
Put a startup floppy in the drive, power up, select with CD-ROM support, put
the Windows CD in the drive and at the A:\ prompt type:
E: (press enter)
At the E:\ prompt type:
SETUP (press enter)
This will launch Windows setup that will take you about 45 minutes to
complete.
IMPORTANT: install Windows on the same folder (usually 888a:dbb7:2d49:b3f6:8605:bf4e:caed:e5a4\Windows), DON'T
accept any other alternatives if or when asked.
If that doesn't work, I don't know any other tool that will get rid of IE.
The use of IERadicator is simple and painless in Win)x.
But I understand your fears.
Good luck,

    @JoeM: ""oops!!"
Yesterday while my brother was surfing, spyware totally correpted what still 
ran right in IE (& OE5.5). Neither will run. NAV (which also won't start 
now), had a hand in it also. Accessing Google maps is no longer my main 
concern. 
So I ran IEradicator and as you said worked great. Couldn't install IE5.5 
sp2 nor IE6.0 sp1 though from those big 84/79 meg files (many script type 
errors in DOS popup windows). So instead downloaded the 6.0 setup file & 
installed IE6.0 sp1, your original suggestion, & suddenly everything works 
great - even the google site runs right. I guess over the years, 5.5 became 
corrupted for many reasons and needed replacing. So I thank you very much for 
all your help in this.
