    Internet Explorer problems
    « on: August 26, 2008, 06:51:54 AM »
    OK, When I try to log on to Internet Explorer I get an error message saying(Internet explorer cannot display this page). But when I open a link saved In MY FAVORITES MSN opens with no problems. I can go to any other site but MSN. I tried to refresh, Reboot, ran virus and spyware scan, cleaned out my files with CC Cleaner. No luck, I thought maybe the site Is having problems but why does It work when I go to my Favorites and press on the link.I have Internet explorer 7 and running windows XP home. Thanks.

    So when you start Internet Explorer, the homepage doesn't show?

    Can you try Mozilla Firefox?
    (just see if its a problem with IE or the computer)

    How long has this been happening?

        Are you sure everything is alright now? A virus could have caused it, but don't be worried.
