For some reason some websites will not open using Internet Exlorer for me anymore. For example amazon and IMDB are two of them. If I use another browser such as firefox they open. ANy ideas? :fp:

    Nothing opens? At all?

    Do you have a virus scanner on your computer?

    I concur with the previous poster: don't use IE. Use Firefox.

    Looks like the problem resolved this time, but be sure you have the most up to date browser version.

    Same thing happened to me and I changed over to Google Chrome. Never had any problems since (except not getting PJ tickets) ;)

    I use chrome, firefox AND IE

    Well yeah, sometimes the old IE just does it well enough, firefox has its share of bugs.

    anyways, what might help you is doing one of the following.. but do it on your on risk :)

    1. reset ie setting, open up ie (internet explorer), press ALT-T on your keyboard, go to lowest option-internet options, go to advanced tab then on the bottom you have "reset", click it and ask to also delete personal data, you need to restart ie after that. read carefully that this will reset every configuration you have made, not talking about content like history or favorites though!

    2. check which addons you downloaded intentionally or what not, go to programs tab in the same place advanced tab was (internet options) and click on "manage addons".
    in there go to "toolbars and extension", select anything unfamiliar or that you do not want and click the "disable" button on the bottom right. do this for each object you find suspicous

    Now, be aware that if you are a bit unfamiliar you might disable some stuff you do actually want, for example shockwave flash or adobe pdf link helper etc..

    hope i could help! 8-)
