IE Browser fails to appear
first of all I am able to get online with my ISP but when
trying to go to my home page or any other website my browser fails to display the page.I continue to get the cannot display page window.I have always been able to solve this problem in times past but this time I am stumped.On the status bar line while trying to retrieve the site I get this message before the cannot display page comes up (Downloading from site:res//C:\\Windows\system\SHDOLCLC.DLL/dnserror.htm) It appears to be a dns error within the windows system host script but thats just a guess.when I go to winipcfg (IP Configuration)I believe there should be a valaid IP address listed but my system states for its IP address "Media Disconnected" I have no idea what this is refering to.there is also nothing listed under submask or default gateway.there is nothing in the windows help refering to this media disconneted listing.I have tried restoring internet settings to default in internet options with no change.I ran my adaware for possible browser hijack but it found nothing.I even reinstalled the windows ME setup.exe to see if it would fix any corrupted or missing system files but still no browser.Other than that my system is running fine but this problem sure has me preplexed.. Please help Windows Gurus...any ideas???? |

Warren,
Scan the system with AdAware, check for updates before you do, in Safe Mode with " Show hidden files and folders " enabled : http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=6213 Advise you to download and install Spybot to also scan the system : http://tomcoyote.com/SPYBOT/index1.php Also, it would be wise to scan the system with Hijack This and post the log to a forum that specializes in deciphering them : http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index....showf orum=18 Be sure to read the " Important Topics " at the top of the page before posting the log. http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 Read " INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTING HJT LOGS HERE " prior to posting the log. Hijack This http://www.aumha.org/freeware/freeware.php#hjt MowGreen [MVP] =============== *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten =============== Warren wrote: first of all I am able to get online with my ISP but when trying to go to my home page or any other website my browser fails to display the page.I continue to get the cannot display page window.I have always been able to solve this problem in times past but this time I am stumped.On the status bar line while trying to retrieve the site I get this message before the cannot display page comes up (Downloading from site:res//C:\\Windows\system\SHDOLCLC.DLL/dnserror.htm) It appears to be a dns error within the windows system host script but thats just a guess.when I go to winipcfg (IP Configuration)I believe there should be a valaid IP address listed but my system states for its IP address "Media Disconnected" I have no idea what this is refering to.there is also nothing listed under submask or default gateway.there is nothing in the windows help refering to this media disconneted listing.I have tried restoring internet settings to default in internet options with no change.I ran my adaware for possible browser hijack but it found nothing.I even reinstalled the windows ME setup.exe to see if it would fix any corrupted or missing system files but still no browser.Other than that my system is running fine but this problem sure has me preplexed..
