Internet Explorer not working
I have Windows ME on my Intel Celeron 2Ghz desktop PC. Recently, a friend of mine (I thought he was really tech savvy) did some editing in my system registry and since then my internet explorer has stopped working. I have a broadband internet connection (128kbps) and have been reconfirmed by the service provider that the service is running. After connecting to the internet, whenever I open the Internet explorer and type any website name, it instantly gives "this page can not be be displayed" error. Please help me out of this deadlock !! Many thanks in advance. |

George had this to say: After connecting to the internet, whenever I open the Internet explorer and type any website name, it instantly gives "this page can not be be displayed" error. After you open Internet Explorer click on tools and then click on options. Under your connections tab you probably shouldn't have anything listed in the connections. Under LAN settings put in any proxy settings given to you by your ISP (probably aren't any.) Make sure that "Never Dial a Connection" is ticked. Close IE and re-open it. Does it work? If that doesn't work go ahead and, assuming you remember how you did it, remove your current connection from the control panel and completely set up a new one. It only takes a minute or two and the wizard walks you through it pretty easily. You can do it from the same screen that you had open in Internet Explorer by clicking the "Setup" button that's sitting on the connections tab. If that doesn't work let us know.

I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation." -- Sherlock Holmes |
