Lost some internet access
For a long time, I have had both Internet Explorer and Firefox active on this XP SP3 machine. Suddenly, out of the blue, clicking on some web icons produce no responses. My first thought was that I had lost my internet connection, but that proved not the case because my Outlook Express and Eudora email apps still respond and work, as does Firefox and this Forte Agent. However my Internet Explorer and Gmail icons do nothing. Same for other internet shortcuts I have, such as my desktop shortcut to Craigslist. I have tried re-installing a fresh IE ver8 download (via Firefox) with same result. I can manually enter URLs in Firefox to get to internet sites such as Craigslist, but what a bother. I went to folder optionsfile types and changed the URL therein from iE to Firefox. All that did was change the displayed icons for my internet shortcuts to Firefox, but they still do nothing. I have tried searching for this problem, using Firefox/Google, but I am hit with so many exasperating popup ads, some of which block skipping, that I gave up on that. So - what to do now? Maybe I have a virus? Xie Xie Wei |
