I love Internet Explorer 6, which is clearly the best version of IE that Microsoft has produced yet with respect to the feature that is most important to me in a browser: accurate HTML rendering according to W3C standards. And I love Windows 98 (either edition), which I consider the high point of the entire Win9x family of operating systems.
Sometimes, though, two people we love oodles and oodles just can't get along with each other, and this applies to software, too. IE6 and Win98 just don't get along.
One of the things that has been apparent from pretty early on is that IE6 destabilizes the Win98 shell, particularly Windows Explorer. A variety of hangs, failures, and misbehavior start happening right after IE6 is installed on Win98. These aren't behaviors that are foreign to Win95 and 98 historically, but they are behaviors that have been absent on the machines in question until the IE6 install. And, on uninstalling IE6 - backing up to the previous version of the browser - the problem is reliably resolved.
For instructions on uninstalling Internet Explorer 6 from Windows versions before XP, see the aptly named Knowledge Base article, {How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 6}.
My current recommendations for optimum IE browser on different Windows versions are as follows: For Win95 and Win98, IE 5.5. Service Pack 2 (SP2) is where you should stop - it's the last version of IE that Win95 can install, and the last one that Win98 can take without significant nagging problems. I have heard of no significant problems with IE6 on WinME, so I recommend that combination for the most powerful pairing on that OS. And, of course, the IE6 that is native to Windows XP works spectacularly on that Windows version.
With Win XP Service Pack 1 due out in a couple of months, I've been hoping that this might bring an IE6 SP also... and that perhaps the family feud between the new browser and respected elder Win98 can be patched up so that everybody who loves both of them can bring them together. (Hm, I suppose I should ask my IE MVP friends if such is in the works...)
Je traduirais en résumé que IE6 déstabilise le noyau de Win98, Explorer en particulier. Une série de blocages, erreurs et comportements erronés commencent dès qu'on installe IE6. Ce ne sont pas des problèmes nouveaux sous win9x mais ce sont des problèmes absents des PC jusqu'au moment où on a installé IE6. En désinstallant IE6 et en retournant à la version précédente, le problème est résolu.
Le navigateur optimal pour Win9x est IE 5.5. Service Pack 2 (SP2), c'est la dernière version que Win95 peut installer et la dernière qui ne pose pas de problème à Win98. Il n'y a pas de problème significatif avec IE6 pour WinME et IE6 marche très bien sur XP, c'est la version native. (ndlr : ok aussi pour 2K/NT).
Il est à noter que les problèmes rencontrés ne le sont pas pendant qu'on utilise IE6 mais plutôt quand on est dans Explorer, il faut le savoir car vous avez peut-être IE6 sous Win98 et vous n'avez rien remarqué de particulier. Dans ce cas, ne changez rien mais si Win98 devient instable, vous savez ce qu'il vous reste à faire.
