I cant as all microsoft pages give me the error caused by script in the page.

can you try typing in
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx

Did the recovery CD reformat and reinstall or just overwrite files? You might have a mix of old and new system files which fubars a lot.

win98

i dunno how you check the verion of ie

an error has occred on the script of this page

win98? that laptop should be blown up. You can only do windows update with IE anyway.

 

[Island Son]

is it only microsoft sites you can't reach?
did the recovery cd install an antivirus program (like norton or mcafee) and a firewall?

if it's only MS sites and you don't have antivirus, go to pack.google.com and get their update software (skip the google stuff, get the 6 month free antivirus and the adaware, scan your PC to make sure you haven't picked up a virus already. Get Firefox there too.)

[Island Son]

here's something to try
-------------------------------------------------------
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type " Regsvr32 urlmon.dll ", (without the quotes) and then click OK.
When prompted with the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll" succeeded message, click OK.

 

[Island Son]

also try
Tools / Options / Advanced, turn off the checkbox for "automatically check for internet explorer updates" and restart IE.

 

[Island Son]
