When I type a website into the Address bar, it automatically puts it through the MSN search page, like when you mis-type a website address, but I know that the website I am trying to get to is up, and the search results will have it listed. Once I click on the link from the search page, it will open the site correctly, and any links sent to me through e-mail or IM will also link directly through the page. What's the deal? I've tried downloading and installing all the critical updates and such from Microsoft.com. Coming here was the last resort before just reloading Windows 98. Please help :)

Problem with IE v6 on Windows 98

Ok, went through all the upgrading from the Microsoft Windows Update, so I'm not sure if SP1 was installed with that or not. I forgot to mention that this is not my computer, but my girlfriend's, who is 2 hours away, so i'm not 100% sure what has/has not been done. How do you repair IE? The only other thing I had that would work is just re-installing WIndows 98, that should fix it, right? Let me know what you guys think.

IE 6 did not ship with Windows 98.
So that will not restore the functionality of IE 6.
to repair IE;
Start
Settings
Control Panel
Add/Remove Programs
highlight the entry for "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools"
click the Add/Remove button
at this time you will get a dialouge box --- choose the option to Repair Internet Explorer
basically, follow along from there
If the files have been saved to the local drive, it will install from there
If not, they will be downloaded and installed from your net connection.
