So how are we supposed to update when IE doesn't work?

Unable to update as windows update refuses to work under anything other than
IE, and my IE doesn't work at all, considering finding an old program I ran
in the Win98 days called BigFix... I think.

google for "windiz updates"

Jonah

no actual error, just won't load any pages, IE engine won't work in Netscape
and my images aren't loading in Outlook Express so I think it's just plain
died... i can open it and go though all the settings and change them and
everything but when I type an address in the addy bar and hit enter it just
doesn't load anything.

I suggest you get the IE problem fixed first:

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
