Re: Internet Explorer - Our Apologies message?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Jan,
I thought this was going to work. I now understand why I did not see IE on
the main list of programs, because it is a component of SP2 and not a stand
alone program. I did everything you suggested. I went to the Add and Remove
components and removed the check. Then next and finish. Then re-booted.
Then I went back into Add and Remove Components and put the check back in.
Then next and finish. I saw the updating being done, so I thought it was
going to work. I then clicked on the double down arrow and it still did not
show IE as the default program. I rebooted and looked again and still IE was
not the default program. I then clicked on the IE icon to run Internet
Explorer and it did the same thing; It comes up with the big box with the
blue stripe on top saying : Our Apologies, the page you are trying to access
does not exist. However, when I am in this group community that we are
messaging back and forth with, It says "Internet Explorer" right on top in
the Blue Stripe. Do ; I am really confused.

I hope this additional informations gives someone a clue.

Thanks, Rod
