FrankA Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I am using windows 98 and windows explorer 6 with gmail and I can not delete messages. I activate the button and it looks on the screen as it was depressed but nothing happens. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 I know that many do use version 6 with W98, but I never had much luck, and got better results with 5.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankA Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 The problem is not just the delete button. When I get a message I write a reply and then the send button does not work either. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 At this stage all I can think of is trying with a different browser - to see if it is caused by Internet Explorer. Try http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ - it should run on Win98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 IE and OE work perfectly well, why change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Thanks for that advice I tryed using firefox and it worked quite well. I think I will continue to use firefox.I also use Firefox now after I was having continual Active X problems in Internet Explorer which I couldn't resolve despite asking for help, I've never looked back B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 IE and OE work perfectly well, why change?Where is your spirit of adventure.Just because you had trouble with Firefox should not preclude you from trying other browsers out.When you eventually upgrade to Vista, IE7 has pinched the best bits from Firefox & opera to make its browser better, so get stuck in, and find what you are missing.

scuzzman Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 *Puts on flame retardent suit*FrankA: While using an alternate browser may solve your initial problem, there is still something breaking your IE. I would suggest at least also posting a HJT log to our HJT forum for analysis by our experts. Click here to find out how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 IE and OE work perfectly well, why change?If you mean IF..IE and OE work, then I totally agree. If they work, why change? But if you're looking for something with more options, or just are sick of hearing "New flaw discovered in Internet Explorer that could allow an attacker to gain remote control of your system..." Then switch to Firefox... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 As I said IE and OE work fine. Tried Firefox, didn't like it so dumped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
