Sorry mate - haven't got a clue whats wrong with I.E. but I can recommend a browser called Mozilla Firefox. I started using it in favour of IE 2 years ago and reckon its much better:

What message exactly. No-one will know what the problem is just by saying its stupid!

Try a reinstall it of it. Opera is a free browser, at around 13 megs.

Thanks for the help.
I downloaded Firefox, it looks good, although it seems to be a little slow. Anyway, atleast I can use the Internet!!!!! Yaaaaaaaahhhhhhoooooooo!!!!!!

Try running Windows update?

Or it could be something to do with some dodgy advertising stuff that has managed to insatll itself on your PC.Mozila is fine though. I've used it and found it slighty faster than MS IE.

Keep firefox.

Has nice pop-up ad blocking and tabbed browsing. Both are great features and both are not available in i.e.

i use it on my work pc, safari on my mac at home.

Try running a program called HijackThis .. it shows everything that has been installed on your browser and allows you to remove the rubbish! :woo:

you got it easy man. as a web designer i REALLY hate IE. i have to design a page to display correctly in all browsers, and IE has a buncha stupidass rules that the majority of other browsers don't.

use mozilla.
