experiencing situations where it would stop in loading a web page.
When it hit control,alt,delete, it states that the page that is
loading is (not responding). I did a search and there is a Microsoft
page that says that there is a "hot fix" for this problem. Before I
install it, I first wanted to ask if it would be better to just go to
IE7 or an even later version. Any help will be appreciated.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?
Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

1. Download the Norton Removal Tool, saving it to your desktop:
ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe
2. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. Double-click on the file you saved in #1 above to run the utility. Don't
TOUCH your keyboard until the run completes, then reboot.

Strange, on my fully updated (I thought) Win98SE IE, the Mshtmled.dll is
version 6.0.2800.1106.

You guys are confusing MSHTMLED.dll with MSHTML.DLL.
They're 2 different files.

uninstalling the earlier versions(if they existed). Now we will see
if it solves the problem I was having.
Now I have another question. I have old versions of Word Perfect and
Lotus 123 that I have had installed on this computer. These programs
are on diskettes. I have used them extensively and have numerous
files with the documents I have created. I need to get a new
computer because my 433Mhz is just not fast enough to play the youtube
videos that I like. Since the new computers do not have disk readers,
how do I get my Word Perfect and Lotus onto the new computer?

Several Options
1. Buy a USB floppy drive and use it.
2. Copy the data files to a flash drive or CD/DVD. There are many
programs on the internet to read Lotus 123 or Word files.
3. Depending on program age they may not use the registry and you can
just copy the directories to a flash drive then copy to new computer.
I have done this with several programs from Win95/98 and am using them
on a Windows 7 system.
4. Copy the program floppys to a flash or CD/DVD drive using folders
for each disk if multiple disk programs and install on new system.
5. (Or 1) If you have a NIC card in the old system use it to connect
the new computer and transfer the data/programs to new system. If you
don't have a NIC in the old system get one ($10).

You go to a local computer-parts store and spend $10 to buy a floppy
disk drive and $2 for a cable and you connect the floppy drive to the
floppy controller connector that's on the motherboard of the new
computer that you're going to buy.

The floppy isn't totally dead, but yes it's hard to find an off the
shelf system with one anymore. What versions are Lotus and WP?

Lotus now resides. Actually I have Release 5. I also have a SD card
reader that I use for backup. Can I just copy all the files from the
floppy's on to an SD card and then, when I want to install it on a new
computer(without a floppy) simply connect the card reader to the USB
port, find and double click the Install.exe file?
My Word Perfect is Version 6.1 and the file that installs it is
Setup.exe. Can I do the same thing as above for this?
Will these old versions of the Lotus and WordPerfect install and
operate on the new computers with Windows 7? I was able to install
them on my XP machine through its floppy reader. .

I have been a long time away from Lotus123 and never used WordPerfect
so my answers reflect this.
If the install programs are on several floppy disks then you will have
to make a separate directory (disk1, disk2 etc) for each disk then
copy the floppy to the directory (floppy1 to disk1). The main program
that I transferred to flash drive and then installed from the flash
drive was Borland Quattro (Lotus clone) and Wordstar. I first made
directories on the HDD and copied from the floppy. I then checked for
duplicate files and Wordstar had none so I made this into one
directory and copied to the flash drive and was able to do the install
from the flash drive. The Borland Quattro had duplicate files on each
floppy so I kept the files in separate directories and copied them to
the flash drive and again ran the install file. Both worked correctly
on my XP system as did MSOffice 97. I dropped Quattro and WordStar
and use Office 97 on my Vista and now Windows 7.
Takes a little time doing the copy, search, and test but if your files
are very important to you this is one way to do it.
PS If I had it to do over I would update my Word processor and
Spreadsheet software then get a converter program that would convert
my data files to the format of my new software. There are limits as to
what programs can run on later operating systems so there is no magic
bullet to fix this.
