Scot Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Hi, PCterm: can i load internet explorer off a install cd of windows 95 and how do i do it?I'm not quite sure what you're asking. But if your version of Windows is newer than Windows 95 (whatever version of Windows 95 your CD is), the answer is no. Also, there's no separate installer for IE on any Windows disk. The installation is integral with the Windows install. Nothing is impossible, of course. But let me ask you, why not download IE? It's free.-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arena2045 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I don't know if this will help... And I know it’s far out there...A long long time ago it seems like every computer magazine that I purchased had either an AOL or Microsoft Network CD.When I was using Windows 95/98 I would use those free Microsoft Network CD's to keep my IE updated because the latest versions were always on the CD’s, and because it took forever to download new versions of IE via a 28.8 modem with AOL on old phone lines.IF you have an old and I mean an OLD, AOL CD or MSN CD somewhere in with your computer stuff (that is if you have used PC's since Windows 95), you may find that an older version of IE and Netscape are included right on the CD.But like Scot said... Why don't you just download it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcterm2 Posted March 19, 2003 Author Share Posted March 19, 2003 ok here is the gist of it- windows 95b-someone deleted the internet explorer and outlook express,i maybe be wrong but i thought if you have an install cd you could get it from there and put it back on the computer,cannot d/l from microsoft,no internet connection -no internet explorer-any ideas would be apperciated :rolleyes:ps i do have the install cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 First, Arena2045's tip is an excellent one, to get IE from an AOL or MSN CD. Although that usually means you get those services too. There are other program CDs that do this too. It used to be more common than it is now. Eudora CDs used to have IE on them. May still for all I know, I haven't seen a new one in a long time.PCTerm, if you have the correct Windows 95B CD for your Windows installation that had IE and OE removed (probably in conjuntion with 98lite.com), then I recommend trying to install over your running version of Windows with the CD. Post back if you need help with that.Also, check here:http://www.litepc.com/98lite.htmlIf you know how OE and IE were removed, post back and let us know about that.-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arena2045 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Yeah about my little tip… Now days the free CD’s usually incorporate their service with IE, where as (for the most part) before (during the Windows 95 era) the option to install a non-branded/non-service version of IE or Netscape from a free CD was totally optional.Anyway… I totally agree with Scot’s suggestions!

Guest ThunderRiver Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I totally agree with Scot's suggestion.pcterm2, do you mean "steamline the installation of Winodws 95 along with IE?"-Thunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaffiDuck Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Office 2000 installs IE and Outlook (or upgrades it)so if can find someone with that program just do a custom install and upgrade your Word in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quark Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 There is the possibility that you have the install cabs on your computer, in which case you might find it easy to reinstall 95b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur_phy Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 cannot d/l from microsoft,no internet connection -no internet explorer-any ideas would be apperciated something like this seems to happen so often. Once this problem is resolved, a good idea would be to have installed more than one browser. There are a lot to choose from including Netscape and Opera. I currently have the use of 9 with the default being Opera 7.With multiple browsers come the problem of keeping the favorites/bookmarks synchronized. A good program to do this is Jet Links. With that program, with Opera being the default, all new bookmarks are added there. Periodically, JL is used to import the Opera bookmarks and then saved. At this point, export JL bookmarks to both NS and IE. Interstingly, the IE "cousins" will be updated but Mozilla has to be done separately.Once that is done, access is still available to all bookmarks via the Start>Favorites.

Guest LilBambi Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 What ISP do you use? Do you have a local ISP? Many times you can pick up a CD from them with a browser and their dialer setup on it.Where are you getting online to post here? Do they have a CDR? Maybe you could download a copy from one of the local ISPs around, like Widomaker.com's software section, or here on Microsoft's Windows 95 site: http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/default.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Does this PC have internet access at all? Do you have an ftp client installed? Or even an instant messanger capable of transfering files(AOL IM, ICQ, etc.). If so you could use ftp to connect to MS or another browser download. Or I can hook up with you and send you the phoenix browser over instant messanger.I can not believe I have not thought of this before now. I was laying in bed watching the tube and the thought came out of nowhere. Just let me know if I can assist you in anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roshisan Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 At the MS download site for IE there is an option to have a CD mailed to you rather than download. They charge a few dollars to pay for the costs.Roshisan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
