I have a 6-year-old Macintosh Power PC running OS 8.1 and the latest
(I think) version of Internet Explorer.  My problem is that whenever I
go to a website that involves any sort of field that you type in (such
as the Hotmail sign in page, or any search engine) I get an error
message that says "Your security zone settings do not allow you to
send HTML forms."  Then I open up my preferences and go to the
Security Zones tab to try to change the setting, and my computer
immediately freezes every single time.  I've tried completely
reinstalling Internet Explorer but it did not fix the problem.  Anyone
know how I can fix this?

Can you go into Preferences whilst you're not connected to the
internet, and see if your security is set too High? If you can, I
suggest you set your security zone level to Medium or anything below.
Let me know if that helps.

That's a good idea, but how do I edit my preferences without being
connected to the internet?  As soon as I open Explorer, I immediately
become connected... do you mean disconnect my modem first?  Or is
there maybe a way I can change my preferences without even having
Explorer running?

You should be able to edit your preferences online or offline. When
you launch Explorer try cancelling the connection, or log-off the
internet. When you are offline, change your security  zone level to
Medium, and then press OK. Let me know if that works.

Im not that good on a mac... but if there is an internet explorer icon
on your desktop you can usually right click it and adjust your
internet settings and such from there.
