Inernet Explorer question
This may not be the appropriate newsgroup for this question -- if not,
please point me in the right direction. Here's the problem: -- IE 7.0 -- WinXP Home Edition with SP3 I use a Netgear WGR614 router with wireless capability. My desktop is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. My daughter connects with the wireless access point on the same router. I have constant problems with the desktop computer when trying to surf the 'net -- at least one-third of the time when I click on a link, I get a failure notice "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." Most of the time I can run the connection diagnostic and IE reports that it has restored connectivity -- I access websites normally for a few minutes, then, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" -- run diagnostic -- connect -- repeat. I have been thinking that the problem was with my ISP -- however -- while I am experiencing failures, my daughter with her laptop connected to the wireless access point on the router is humming right along, not experiencing any problems at all. Anyone have any suggestions?? |

Anyone have any suggestions?? Confining it to one computer is helpful and probably exonerates your ISP for the moment. When you have the problem on a particular site, can your working machine access the site you can't? And I mean try this as soon as it breaks if you can. Is the working machine also running IE7? Some malicious software will mess around with your browser experience and either take you to places you don't want to go (redirection) and instead take you to where they want you to go, or keeps you from going to WWW sites that have anything to do with malicious software removal, and other undesirable behavior. I would first download Malwarebytes free software, install it, update and do a complete scan. This could take a while to scan. When the scan finished, there are other ideas from Microsoft (http:// support.microsoft.com/kb/956196) like to remove your temporary Internet files (no harm in that) and to do some other things you have already tried, but some of it is worth reading. Don't try to make too many weird adjustments yet. If you are entertaining the thought up upgrading to IE8 to try to fix this, I wouldn't do that yet - to try to fix it. It should work just fine with IE7 and you don't want to throw more variables into the already compex equation. Get IE7 back to normal and working reliably first. Please try these things first and then we can hopefully have a clean system to work on if it keeps misbehaving. |

Inernet Explorer question
In article ,
says... In article , says... Hey dip**** read below the email I received from MS a few months ago. The spammer David Lipman filed a complaint. When are you idiot trolls going to realize you are wrong about me. Like I have always said MS knows who I am and that I am legit. Guess what those logo's are still on my site because I am authorized to use them. Oh and when they asked I gave them my real name not pcbutts1 not The Real Truth and not Christopher Butts. LOL, your site violates MS's rules as you quoted in their email to you.... According to MS, you are not authorized to use them. So, why are you still stalking myself and others via the Internet? I called MS last week and they just got back to me in an email. They said the site is legit and those logo's are used with permission and the author is authorized to use them. They would not give me the name though.
