1. Uninstall the "MSN Gaming Zone" from Add/Remove
Programs.
2. Delete the MSN Gaming Zone folder in "C:/Program
files". However, you should save the Favorites folder
to your desktop before deleting so you can put it back in
later so you don't loose your friends list and password.
3. Delete EVERYTHING in the "C:/Windows/Temp" folder. There
may be some older zone files lurking in there and those temp
files are not doing anything except taking up space.
4. Delete ALL of your temporary internet files manually from
the "C:/Windows/TemporaryInternetFiles" directory.
5. Delete EVERYTHING in the "Windows/DownloadedProgramFiles"
directory. These programs will reinstall properly later.
6. Delete everything in the "C:/Windows/Cookies" directory.
This is another place for outdated zone files to hide.
Note:
This next step must be taken with caution if you choose to
take it. It can be dangerous if you aren't familiar with editing
the registry. If you are good at it, do this step now to make
this reinstallation perfect. If not, don't worry about it,
the repair will work without this step.
-In the "Start/Run" box, type regedit and hit enter. Your
registry editor should now be open. Open "Hkey_local_Machine".
Open "Software". Open "Microsoft". Scroll down and highlight
"Internet Gaming Zone". Be sure that this folder is the only
one highlighted, then delete it. Close the Registry editor.
7.Restart the computer. Then go to Windows Update. Click
on Product Updates.
8.UPDATES- Get Windows 98 Customer Service Pack. Get
IE5 and internet tools if you don't have it. Then get
all of the critical updates. Then get all the updates
pertaining to the internet and all of the Additional Windows
Features.
9.After all of your updates are done, restart the computer.
Go to the zone and let the new zone files install. Once the
zone is reinstalled, replace the favorites folder with
the one that you saved to the desktop.
10.As a precaution, go to Add/Remove Programs and
click on Internet Explorer 5 and Internet tools.
The next window will give you three options. Choose "Repair
Internet Explorer" and let the system reboot.
