Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Internet Explorer / August 2003Invalid Switch?
Hi, Just wondering if anyone else has run across this problem. I bought a Dell OptiPlex G1 system (Pentium II- 350 Mhz) as a surplus machine- no memory or hard drive - HEY It cost me a whopping $10 and the guy selling them had stackes of them at the outdoor flea market :-). Got it running with all the necessary hardware and software - Windows 98SE. Went to click on Internet Explorer only to have a MS-DOS window open up and say............"Invalid Switch" and then the next line says......"Specified COMMAND search directory bad" and then three lines more of the "Invalid Switch" the last line of the window is the path ...... C:\WINDOWS\Desktop Thanks, Dan > Hi, > Just wondering if anyone else has run across this problem.

If you right-click it the Internet Options dialog should appear. If the icon has a shortcut arrow (lower left, unless hidden with tweakui) it is a shortcut. You can also try this: If a MSIE is a shortcut delete it, then open Windows Explorer, go to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ find the "Iexplore.exe" file and copy it to the desktop. When Windows says "Overwrite?" choose yes. Restart Windows. If that does not fix it a reinstall of MSIE will fix the problem. If you do a reinstall be sure to export your address book file (.wab) to another folder so you don't accidentally loose the addresses. > Hi, > Just wondering if anyone else has run across this problem.

You will be much happier with the results. (c: |
