hey,

im running a cable connection hooked up through a lan and a router.

yesterday i turned on my computer, tried to get on the web, but Internet explorer wasn't working properly. In fact, it wasn't working at all. For every website i tried, it would tell me The page cannot be displayed.

i removed my network connections, seeing if a reinstall woould work, but it didn't. So i downloaded netscape in order to find a solution.

Everything else works: aim, kazaa, netscape, outlook express
but not IE.


any ideas?

ok i removed internet explorer from the change/remove programs, (well, it said internet explorer, and had some random numbers after it). I also changed the key in the registry to that it would think it wasn't installed at all (from 1 to 0).

earlier it wasn't letting me continue the installation (after i downloaded the 7mb file that the 500k manager downloads for me). It said the program hadn't passed some test.

so i decided to boot in to safe mode and see if i can install it when logged in as an administrator.

[edit]
no, it won't let me install it because it hadn't passed the windows xp test thingy. Damnit.

ok it randomly started working again after several failed attempts at installing it.

another thing i did was i went to add/remove windows components, and although it didn't look like it did anything, i unchecked then checked again the box for IE.


weird.
