Hi Don.t :-)
> I have the same problem. I doubt it has anything to do
> with search. How can you download anything when the
> browser doesn't work?
NOTE: If you can not download these programs from the Internet, if your PC
has CD read capabilities, go to another computer with CD-ROM burning
capabilities. Create a folder on the hard drive of the other computer called
HOLD, download the programs to that folder, then burn that folder to a CD.
Copy the HOLD folder to your HD and then install the programs from there
and run them. After you have IE access again, update all programs where
possible to get the latest definitions and run them again to be sure there
are no lingering items on the system.
If you are interested in some help, and these steps did not resolve your
problem, then please a open new post of your own stating all the facts or
your particular problem, which version of Windows you have, and the exact
wording of any error messages you are getting. Then perhaps we can offer
some helpful information that will resolve your problem
Thank you :-)
