i am tryin to load my IE but it will not load, i have ran several spyware scans I.E spybot, adware, microsoft, and also i have ran a virus scan, but still it will not load. also tryed system restore but that did not work! can any1 help me out please thanks a lot!!
what windows are you using, probably xp. check in add/remove programs to see if internet explorer is there & click remove. it should come up with an option to do a repair so do that. if not there than goto ms site to download a copy of ie6 to either reload on top of self or repair it self
i have ZoneAlarm security suite, yesturday i tryed to update my antivirus and it said error so then i tryed to load E icon and that didnt load. when i go into Add/remove internet explorer is not there! i went on the microsoft site tryed their help steps but it still did not work. i have winASO registry cleaner and in there it has a browser restore tyed to restore it bk but no luck! Also i download the free AVG antivirus that found 1 trojan, but zonealarm didnt, would that of caused it ? thanks
what about installing sp2 again, the only thing is my laptop is only 4 months old. its a sony vaio one! also another question i am unable to download windows updates and load MSN messenger, is that beacause it has to go through the E icon ?
I'm puzzled. The title of the thread say's "Desktop". Then a laptop is mentioned. Failure to load IE would indicate no Internet access. But downloads have been made and the MS website has been accessed. Do we have two different computers in use? Are they on a LAN? Are they even connected? Take a deep breath...... and then give us your system(s) specs.
ok im sorry, well the E icon that i look at on my screen! (that not called ur desktop)?????? i am able to access the internet through AOL, but i try load IE it just says cannot find server, it would normally load Google which is my home page! ?
its more in likely AOL doing all the problems drop that isp and get people pc <when using people pc dont use the disk manually setup the dial up config if your on dial up in window's>
i have all the programs for spyware i.e Spybot, microsoft, Adware, google toolbar, AVG antivirus i think i must have spyware or a virus its just as IE is not working i am unable to update my programs as it says i am not connected but i am as i am on AOL do u think the best thing to do is format it its just a new sony laptop only a few months old
Hmmm, Back when I was an AOL customer, they used IE. Not sure about now & don't care. It is possible that you might have multiple versions loading upon boot up and the AOL version is first and get's the resources. That or any other version that is running is not properly configured for your Internet Access. When you say "Desk Top", most people take that to mean a computer that is meant to stay on your Desk Top. Not a portable or lap top. Yes I know that your booted up screen is your "desk top" It can be confusing. Do you also have "Avast Antiviral" loaded? That has caused me internet access problems. Be wary of all the internet protection programs you see. They do not always play well with each other. TC
