    Okay, so I was doing fine and minding my own business when I noticed that Explorer 7 was not functioning anymore. The error message I see is: (Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage) . I am using an HP Pavilion notebook about a year old, running XP with an AMD athlon64. I also use Firefox, so for a time I simply avoided pain by using Firefox. Unfortunately for me, there are websites that only support and need to use Explorer, so I must get it figured out. So far, I have uninstalled and reinstalled MIE7, I've reset settings. I've run spyware and virus (Norton) proggies with no results. I've hit half a dozen websites and visited Microsoft for ideas. I've done it all and I still cannot use MIE -- at least not for anything related to the Internet! From what I can see from Google searches on this thing, it's a wide-spread annoyance. But I don't see any fixes yet PLEASE HELP!!!

    Here are two plugins for Firefox that should fix the need for IE...
