I'll try my best to explain my problem. So far I have
found no help or solution from ms or anywhere else.
1) All symptons are on 98se and everything is perfect on
XP home.

2)At the very top of the msn8 browser, top left corner, it
is supposed to be a butterfly after the update. I have
updated over the net as I did with my XP box(which is
perfect) and I still get no butterfly. he color of the bar
that the butterfly is in is supposed to be an off blue. It
is an off maroon. If I open an e-mail and expand it then
close it the bar changes to the blue, but still no
butterfly. My drop downs are set to be opauge and are
solid until the top bar is blue. EXCEPT for my favorites
dropdown which always stays solid.
I have wiped clean 3 times the drive and reinstalled 98se
and msn8 and then did the update, to get the same results.

So now I have the msn8.5 disk (which still requires a
slight online update) And I still get the same results.
Does anyone elese have this problem?
I have installed msn8 on XP home and 2000 and like I said
its perfect. But on 98se well like I said above?
Is this a 98 thing or what?
Can someone please give some feed back to this.
Thank-You All

This may take of your problem.

turn the Accessibility Mode to On from Auto by doing the
following:
Sign on -- Click Help and Settings -- Settings --
Accessibility(Left side, near the bottom) --
MSN Accessibility Mode Control -- mark the Radio button by
On

I'm not positive but also if you go to add and remove programs windows
setup tab and make sure the accessibility option is selected there as
well

OK, So far nothing has worked. Am I the only one having
this problem? Do I need to remove and reinstall again? Is
this a 98 issue? I am really at a loss on this one. Can
you guys think of anything else I might be able to try?
Thank-You, Frank

>OK! Ive done all that, again and reinstalled Msn. STILL,
the same problem. But when I first reinstall the new msn
8.5 disk I get the buttrfly in the upper left and my drop
downs are opauge and blue(but not the very top bar, still
maroon). Then when I sign out and close and reopen, the
butterfly is gone and my drop downs are solid again.
What gives? Any other ideas or suggestions? Please!
