Re: Internet 6.0 and XP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I believe that I downloaded an update from my "automatic update" feature. To
be honest, I'm not totally sure. I just know that my all the shortcuts on my
desktop that used to connect me to websites have, over the past week or so,
have gradually stopped working; I'll click them and the window will pop up
(or with some, a portion of the window) and it'll saying connecting, but
then, when it does seem to connect, the window closes itself. So, at this
point, I can only access the internet by going into My Computer and going
through the Favorites list there.
I don't know if this helps you, or not. But, thanks for your time.
