Here is what's happening:When I connect to the web with my dial up,
and then I try to open IE\6 it won't open any web pages,
not even the MS updates page,
and this is what I usually do to open a webpage,
just after I'm connected to the web, I've a folder with my frequently used short cuts\ links\webpages,
I click on the link that I want it to open,
and bingo ! I'm there,
( I've a 56 modem dialer that works fine for me)
but now the problem is that when I click on a link the page won't open at all,(task manager show it's running)
and the link\icon just sit in the task bar, and the restore button is dimmed ,
and this is the same with the IE \icon on the task bar, explorer won't connect me to my home page as well,
I'm writing this from wxp-pro which is installed on the same rig,
and there is no problem with wxp pro\ explorer 6. The problem is in w2k\pro which I upgraded to explorer 6,
and it was working fine until today,
after this problem started,
I've scanned for viruses with norton (updated,)
and it found NADA !
I also scanned with Ad-Aware, but it found lot's of reptiles and they're goners now,
I also defragged and it didn't help at all,I knew it wouldn't but I did cause it needed anyway,
but what's going on here,
I need instructions on how to fix this calamity!
PS: can one reinstall service pack1 which in my case contain just IE\6 and OE\6,
over itself,
which is saved in a windows folder! Thanks OH, one more bit of info, I can open outlook express and get my mail OK!
