My Internet Explorer 7 is messed up. Can anyone help.?

Question

When I go into my start menu and click on "Internet Explorer", sometimes it will start dialing my ISP right away. At other times, it sits and "idles" for 20 seconds or so and then dials. Other times, it brings up the image of my homepage but doesn't even call my ISP. Can anyone diagnose the cause of this? The computer is only 6 months old.

Answer 1

The entire IE7 is messed up and has caused lots of people lots of problems. It appears to be incompatable with parts of windows xp and really messed up my brand new computer bad enough that I had to do a complete restore. Get rid of it and go back to IE6.

Answer 2

There's nothing wrong with your pc, it's IE 7. Lots of people are having problem with IE7. I would suggest you uninstall it and download it sometimes in the future when all the bugs has been fixed. You can remove it thru the Add/Remove program panel or just use System Restore. The best way to do it us to use system restore. You don't really need IE7 anyway because IE 6 works fine. If you really want to get a better browser, try FireFox and you won't even want to go back to IE 7. There's also an extension that you can install in FireFox to get it behave like IE 7 is you want. It's called IE Tab.

1) It dials up automatically if you have set it to do so. If you open the dial up window, uncheck the box that lets you save your dial up password. It will prevent it to dial automatically
2) When one attempt t connect the ISP fails then it wats for 20 seconds or so and then redials. Right click on the dial up icon in control panel to open the properties window, there you can change the settings to redial if the line fails.
3) Once some pages are stored on the computer in browsers cache, then it displays those pages to you next time you click on your browser and then collects additional info if it is connected to web. There is nothing wrong in it , that is the way it works

I downloaded IE7 some weeks in the past and the result became a slower laptop and relentless obnoxious messages telling me that IE7 had encountered a concern and needed to close.This handed off 3 or 4 cases an afternoon.After showing the message i became asked if i had to deliver an errors record which I did.Then IE7 could close down on me.i could on the instant start up it lower back up and it may be high-quality for a whilst then a similar crap lower back.Then 2 nights in the past it handed off for the final time as a results of fact once I sent the errors record it iced over up my reveal.I uninstalled IE7 and went lower back to IE6 and characteristic not had a concern on the grounds that.

Answer 5

Just uninstall it through add/remove programs. Go back to IE6 or use other browsers(Netscape, Safari, Opera, MSN, etc.) I tried to use firefox 2 but when I uninstalled it, I scanned my computer for viruses and Mozilla Firefox causes an archive bomb in this folder:
C\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\dpe44zz.default\cache\
But i think its just because of a website. Hope this helps!

Internet Explorer sucks and always will suck. I suggest downloading Mozilla Firefox. It works great. If your still having problems then you should contact your ISP.

Get something besides dialup.
