    I have lost IE deep within the bowels of my computer
    « on: June 01, 2008, 09:57:20 PM »
     Well, I tried to update IE a few weeks ago and ever since I am unable to open IE!!  When I try to reinstall IE, it says I already have IE.  There are certain websites I can't access with AOL but in the past I could with IE.  In addition, when I go to these websites it says to try an alternate such as Mozilla, but when I tried to download that it wouldn't go through.  ANY help is appreciated

    Did you try to search for "internet explorer" under the search option in the Start menu?

      Did search-When I try to open IE, I get this message:" The page cannot be displayed
      The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.
      To attempt fixing network connectivity problems, click Tools, and then click "Diagnose Connection Problems..." 


      Other options to try:

      Click the  Refresh button, or try again later.

      If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.

      To check your connection settings, click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The settings should match those provided by your local area network (LAN) administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
      See if your Internet connection settings are being detected. You can set Microsoft Windows to examine your network and automatically discover network connection settings (if your network administrator has enabled this setting).
      Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options.
      On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
      Select Automatically detect settings, and then click OK.
      Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help menu and then click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength security you have installed.
      If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your Security settings can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and check settings for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0.
      Click the  Back button to try another link.

          The Dell;

          Here's the story-in order to listen to music from Pandora .com or order magazines from certain websites, you can't use AOL.  I used to be able to click ont the IE symbol on my scree, and go to those websites.  When I try to use IE as an alternate, I get the message I posted which I've tried to follow in the past with no success.  One fellow gave me a long list of remedies but it failed at the end with an error 193 message which no one has yet been able to explain

            Once you're signed onto AOL, have you tried to open a separate browser?

              My apologies.  You did explain that.  I was trying to remember my days of using AOL dialup, and I don't think i had any trouble using my own browser back then...

              I'm sure I was using internet explorer.  I'm sorry I'm not being much help.

              Keep AOL connection up. Close IE.
              Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, click on Internet Explorer(no add-ons). Will it open web pages?
