Picked this up at another forum.... it's weird, but it works....

How to access the internet via your standard Microsoft Calculator or HELP menu when your browser(s) is/are messed up for some unexplainable reason.

1. Open your MS Calculator. This is normally found in Start => All Programs => Accessories => Calculator. (If using "HELP" (start/help) skip to 3)
2. Open the help-window by pressing the F1 key.
3. Click the top-left corner icon of the help window once (Standard is a Document with a Questionmark).
4. Select Go to URL-address. (Or "Jump to URL")
5. Type your address into the avaliable field, but remember to type "http" and :// and not just www. (or equivalent).(After the first entry you can just use 'WWW')
6. Have fun!

Just to add, another way is /start/run/www.xxxxxxxx.xxx:laugh:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
