Re: Internet Explorer restarts computer after going on-line



I just tried uninstalling and re-installing the device drivers, but it did
not work. The laptop is a Dell inspiron 1100. He has a broadband connection
using a Broadcom 440 x 10/100 Integrated Controller, and a Conexant D480 MDC
v.92 modem to connect. He is also using I.E. as a browser, but I don't know
if that helps. Everything is an internal on this system with the exception of
the 3-1/4 floppy drive. Would it be easier to contact DELL at this point and
tell them the problem, or do you have any other suggestions that would allow
me to bypass incomprehensible India support for a few more hours? Thank you
for your help.
