Hey Messie...Check your security area and make sure the sites aren't marked as "blocked". Also you can lower your security settings to a "medium" setting. Have you installed any new spyware software or anything along those lines? If you did, you may have to change some settings in there as well.

Mozilla Firefox... (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) Download it. It's free, and solves all ie problems. I've been using firefox for a little over a year now and I love it. It blocks 99% of all pop-ups, too.

Messy.. i had that problem with Mozilla firefox one day. Couldnt open it up AT ALL. I shut down the puter, restarted it.. the puter went into dos mode and said it had to make some checks.. it ran thru the checks and voila... Mozilla Firefox restarted.

Toyuzu. Firefox rocks! (much better than its predecessor NetScape)

After doing everything I could with explorer I downloaded firefox and now everything works. I can now play literati with Dodge. I need to move all my fav. on bookmarks.
Should I delete explorer out of system?

I.E is the worst browser you could ever use. you really should switch to Mozilla Firefox. It helps so much..its clean, safe, and way faster nomatter what connection. it blocks popups and everything else too! it hardly will ever freezes or slows, and you can tweak it too make it look neat as well. just a suggestion though.

when i used IE things got so bad i ended up having to dump the hard drive every couple of months (one time it was after only one month). had bad registry probs, too.

now, with firefox, there haven't been any problems at all, and it's been way over a year. Maybe over 2...can't keep track.
