First off I have a Compaq prespario C700 Notebook. I have just bought this computer, and I like many americans have had the misfortune of recieving the newest and best piece of crap operating system of Miscrosoft, Vista. A system that has rendered my otherwise very powerful computer to a large paperweight, but I abstain.
Recently I have found that my internet explorer is unable to connect or display webpages. I am right now using firefox, which it and all other internet servers work perfectly on my computer. I have tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. Go to the Microsoft troubleshooting page listed here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926431) and rest assured that I have done every single thing, with the exception if reformatting my computer. (Which loss of IE is a kind of frivolous reason to do so.) I have even tried things not on the list, such as upgrading to IE8. Undeterred, the problem persists.
Now understand that there is nothing I would rather do than just use firefox for the rest of my days, I love firefox, it is safer and more reliable. However because programs such as City of Heroes (I new game I have bought and yet to play because of this) and other applications cannot run without Internet Explorer. So please, for the love of whatever you believe in, help me.
Sincerely,
At My Wits End.
