I'm trying to access www.LearnDell.com. It takes me to a page with a bunch of potential addresses. I click on the one I want but it goes nowhere. Doesn't appear to try. The address choice mentions it requires Javascript enabled in my browser. Outlook Express. Never had this happen before. How do I fix so I can get to the site?

Just open your Browser and click TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS and then slect the advanced Tab. Scroll down until you see Java Sun or JVM (Microsoft's Java) and just check the boxes and restart the browser.

NOTE: SUN Microsystems wrote Java and they offer a free Java download you should install instead of the Microsoft JVM. MS has finally ceased trying to take over the Java world and left it to SUN.
http://www.SUN.com (Click the Java Technology Get it Here button) at the top right of the downloads page you will see a green applet saying Java Software for the desktop Free Download, this will start and install Sun's Java for you.

In future, you will get faster responses if you post questions in the technical Q&A forum as opposed to the discussions forum.

Good luck

Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine is no longer supported or distributed due to a settlement with Sun. Go to www.java.com and download Sun's most recent java client.

Plain Jane IE at its best is a fragile thing and vulnerable to the slightest infractions to its settings. It would be better to use Avant or MyIE2 which both use IE as a core but overlay a tabbed browser function and the ability to activate or deactivate scripts at the click of a button. Also I assume you are using a router be sure you change the user or administrator names and the default password that came with the box.
Also run a software firewall like ZoneAlarm. Also run Hijack Blaster which eliminates attempts to take over your browser. Forget MS in regards to Java and go to Sun as the others suggest. When it comes to security, belt and suspenders is the way to go. Always remember it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, I hope you are using better anti-virus software than either Norton or McAfee. Try AVAST or AVG who update their databases several times a week. Hope this helps.
