I am having problem with my internet explorer. IE will not let me in. It will not even give me an error message. I click on it and the hour glass comes up and then disappears. Then I get nothing.
I have windows xp and I believe IE6. I am able to get IE up on a different user on my computer but not on my user profile. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanx
:cool:

Have you deleted the temporary internet files recently?

If that doesn't work, it is probably a good idea to run a set of scans. Start with an online virus scan, then download Spybot and AdAware to scan with them. Update both before using them. Fix things checked in RED in Spybot and fix whatever AdAware finds. Reboot between scanning with each one. After that, download and run HijackThis so we can see if there are any other problems. To run HJT, extract it to a permanent folder such as C:\Documents or one you create like C:\HJT. Close all programs you have opened and make sure that all programs are enabled if you use msconfig. Run it and Scan, then Save the log. When the log window appears, Right click to Copy it, open your browser and come here to Paste the log. Do not make any changes until it is checked since most items are either benign or essential to the computer.

You can find links to each program in my signature....
