No she does not have a firewall blocking it..as she can get there with
Mozilla....
I do not know this for a fact, but I think the firewall would not have the
C:\
on the address line. If this is a possibility, I will have her try
shutting that off too.
She did not change and settings. She was on the net just before she shut
her computer down last night.
Thanks...
Rose

Does she have a firewall that is blocking IE from accessing?

Hi all,
I have a friend who is having a problem. She has a new HP computer running
Windows XP with SP2 and all her updates.
She has run both virus and adware scans and came out fine.
Last night as she shut down her computer and went to bed a happy camper.
This morning when she turned on her computer, she could get her email. She
can get to MSN messenger. So, you know her cable connection is working.
She still has MSN working..so we know she still has an internet connection.
I believe she is on cable. I do not think it is dsl.
She went to open IE and she cannot get to any webpage. in the address bar,
the default it C:\documents & settings.....yada yada yada....
She went to her favorites and selected one. It gave her a page error
404..page not found... she cannot get any internet page to come up.
She got mozilla (someone emailed it to her so she could install it) and she
can get to the internet that way. But, she needs IE.
I had her uninstall IE (control panel - add/remove programs add /remove
windows elements.
She unchecked IE and when then she closed the add/remove programs window,
she pressed start and told the machine to reboot.
It seem to get hung up on the reboot and she could hear her hard drive
working and working... but..nothing was happening on the screen. After
approximately 5 minutes, I told her to power off as nothing was happening on
the screen.
When she powered down the pc and waited a full minute or so, she turned the
PC back on and everything seemed the same.
She then went back to add remove programs and reversed the previous step and
put a check next to IE to put it back on the computer.
The result was ..no change. While IE was showing up now, she still cannot
get it to go to any page.
It just wants to point to her C: If she presses Favorites and selects a
favorite on her list, she gets a page not found.
Does anyone have any idea what she can do? She has had this pc for a few
months.... so it has been working fine.
Since it is under warranty, I suggested she call HP.
Please send any ideas you may have...at least the ones that might solve this
problem...lol! Although if anyone has the recipe for Southern Comfort..that
you add the condensed milk with to make an awesome drink...let me know that
too! I use to have the recipe...15- 20+ yrs ago and Southern Comfort does
not have it. I did try there first...lol!
If you don't find the recipe for me, I may just have to drink my Southern
Comfort straight! lol! Oh that would be just terrible..tee hee..
Thanks in advance....
Rose
PS I am sure most of you are getting ready for your 'holiday' festivities.

Christmas... or whatever holiday you are celebrating. Bless you all and be
safe! Buy yourselves a great gift..... As your personal shopper... after
you finish dinner on Sunday... read all the Sunday papers for the Monday
