Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 I've been having difficulties with my computer lately, mainly my internet. Certain sites will not let me log onto. It says there is an error in Explorer and shuts down, Windowsupdaters.com and a few music sites. Hockeyoutlet wasn't working the other night either. I am considering re-installing some components. I've been using Virus scan, Spybot and Bazooka, but nothing seems to help. Bazooka shows there are problems, but there are not in the registry. Is my only option re-installing Windows, or Explorer? If so how would I go about this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. As well I am not overly skilled by any stretch with computers, so please assume I know nothing.

Chadd 916 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 Uninstalling IE is very difficult and takes some knowledge to do so with anything beyong win98. Just don't use it and you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
