SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition from a previous version of Windows, you may receive an &quot;Unable to browse the network&quot; error message when you click Network Neighborhood.

RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this issue, delete the AutoLogon value from the registry location listed in the &quot;Cause&quot; section.
