I have changed internet providers and wondering why my IE shows my old provider. How can I change this? Hope I explained it correctly. I'll check back for responses. Thanks in advance.

Need more info. What is your isp? What does it show as your old provider? What OS? DSL, Cable, Dail-up, Broadband, ect...?

    Where in Internet Explorer are you seeing your old ISP mentioned ?
    Was your old ISP AOL by any chance ?

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    Sorry.  :-[  Let me try that again. My old ISP still shows on the title bar instead of the new ISP. My old ISP is DSLExtreme and my new ISP is Charter Cable.

      If the version of IE that you are using was provided as part of the installation software from your old ISP, it is probably a branded version. Uninstall it and install a standard version of IE. My ISP has never appeared in the title bar of any of the 4 browsers that I use.
      If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
