Try disabling Javascript.  I have the same problem attempting to visit
Tyan's (the motherboard maker) site. Unfortunately, I see that
www.bolt.com is ridiculously full of Javascript, so that might not

Wouldn't it be easier to just download 4.61 (or now 4.7) and see if
that fixes the problem, rather than try to get MS to port IE? (blech)
You could even try the Linux version of Navigator under compatiblity
