Windows ME Box
Context is, I've been given the opportunity to push (fix) a computer for my building managers friend.

He has a Windows ME computer, P3 866, 365MB RAM pc133, 2 HD @ 10, 20 GB respectively.

My problem with his computer is that I'm supposed to get it online, backup documents, etc. The reality is, his computer is very clean, but I can't seem to get it online. When ever I click on IE, it crashes and tells me that I should report it to Microsoft. I have a purchased copy of Windows ME (OEM) that came with my DELL, and copied down his product key so that I can hopefully plug it in to the new install.

My query is, I really want to get the PC "online", I tried using a registery hack searched out from google, to no avail. You all know that I don't like to quit on things.. with respect.. it just depresses me.. this small little problem; and I can't seem to crack it.

Anyone know a trick. :ihugs:
