You should be able to load IE in safe mode, pick the option with networking support.

I'm afraid my ignorance is showing again. What do you mean "pick the option with networking support"? Sorry..............

You should get a menu when you hit F8 to go into safe mode, it should have some options, one of them will say 'Safe Mode With Networking Support' or something to the likes of that.

You can use F8 or Ctrl ...or easier option is to switch Pc on and off for 10 times and it will bring that menu up lol

Might sound daft, but have you got an anti-virus? Try scanning with it in safe mode.

I use AVG - it didnt even pick up on the virus that the other scan caught.

But, I was trying to get into Safe Mode with networking so that I could do an online virus scan and hopefully it would delete the virus. I did the scan and it got 1 virus.........the only way (from instructions) is to redo the scan while in safe mode.

your using xp, hes using '98, if i remember correctly, the safe mode in 98 didnt have networking features. the only thing i can think of, is do what cromwell said, back up and reinstall windows

leah, I looked into this a bit more, its not a virus, although it is malicious. Clearing the Java cache will sort it.
