    well i have an old laptop
    64MB RAM XD 3.5GB of hard drive lol

    well i formated the laptop and installed windows 98 se

    i have a Wireless PC card

    works but i cant make the client manager of this PC card work

    its a Buffalo AirStation Notebook adapter WLI-CB-G545

    well the thing is that i need IE 5.5 or newer version to make the client manager works
    this thing has 5.0 but i cant install 5.5 because i need internet!!
    but i cant connect to the internet (thats the reason i bought the wireless card -__- to connect..)

    i need to know if there is a way to upgrade my IE without using internet and my client manager works so i can connect to the internet :)

    Thanks!

    casn't copy the ie folder from 1 pc to another as not getting all files needed for ie to work. how big is your usb flash drive's capacity? try this link. http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/5.5
    what windows are you using to post here?

    You'll need windows 6.0 (yes it will run in win 98)if you want to be able to download updates from microsoft,it won't work with win 5.0,not sure about 5.5 tho


    EDIT:If you've already installed 5.5 & you get error messages when attempting to update win 98, installing win 6.0 will solve this
