IE problems with Sierra FIX.

Anybody having the problem with N2 crashing out Internet Explorer? Found this in another group from Sierra. This is what they posted. Don't know if it works as I had IE3.0 and did a different install with IE3.01. *------------------------------------------* Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think! *------------------------------------------* Joe II

>Anybody having the problem with N2 crashing out Internet Explorer? It's not N2 that's goofing things up, it's the TEN software. Same thing happened to me, but all I did was reinstall Compu$erve 3.0 and all was well. Hope you have luck. Best Regards, Marc J. Nelson Sim Racing News

Can't say. I tried to use the auto update per this post, and after the patch was d/led, it said there was a problem and crashed IE! Seems the patch may need a patch. <G> Only tried it once, so it may have just been a bad d/l.

I never installed the TEN software at anytime during installation(s) and IE crashed anyway. How could the TEN software cause the problem if I never installed it? *------------------------------------------* Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think! *------------------------------------------* Joe II

I reinstalled NASCAR 2 and left out TEN and the UNIVIBE driver. No more IE problems.
