This is a DOS error message. Standard Win98
installations do not need CONFIG.SYS to load
drivers for DOS apps. Try renaming it CONFIG.BAK
and reboot.

It means that your system loads an XMS manager in config.sys, other than
himem.sys. Or your himem.sys is corrupt.

That refers to the Extended Memory Specification. Windows Emm386.exe
manages the Extended Memory Area (XMS) and provides Expanded Memory.
You may be loading another one in the Config.sys file in the root.

Try these 3 lines in this order at the top of the Config.sys file.
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB

Put REM and a space in front of any other lines that manage memory.

Reboot.

The lines also provide more conventional memory that is used by DOS
and some Windows program installs. Expanded Memory (EMS) that some
Dos programs use is also provided if needed.

If no help copy/paste the lines in the Config.sys file to a post in
this thread.

Anyone know why I>E> is so slow after the restore?

In the past,a restore would speed up I>E>considerably.

Maybe spyware, adware or poor configuration after restore of Internet Explorer.
