    Weird problem with I.E.
    « on: September 13, 2011, 02:32:44 AM »
    " The page cannot be displayed"

    That is message I get when I try to use internet explorer, which isnt often, cant even open homepage.....I can use chrome and firefox no problem, but if using either one of those browsers i cannot connect to any microsoft websites...... WTH?

    Oops! Google Chrome could not find microsoft.com
    Try reloading: microsoft.­com
    Additional suggestions:
    Access a cached copy of microsoft.­com
    Go to microsoft.­co
    Search on Google:

    Your version of IE?  And, of Windows?

    Did you make any changes to your computer just before this problem started?  Have you recently changed ISP or had any general Internet connectivity problems?

    Have you tried clearing your browsing history in IE?

                i did say that , but clarified that in the very next post because i thought what i said didnt come out right and was misleading...

                so, while i couldnt follow the link i did go to I.E. and click on tools and from there i reset to default web settings....dont know if there was more to it, but that didnt work....

                so to make clear, I cannot open internet explorer, and i cannot open any microsoft websites with any browser
