Expert: Sandeep Handoo Date: 7/23/2008 Subject: internet explorer 7 not working
Question QUESTION: Hi,
I recently reinstalled my operating system and now IE is not working. I am running Windows XP home edition with service pack 2. When I open IE the error message says that it can not display the web page. I am able to access the internet and use IE on my laptop, so I know that it is not an internet problem. I have tried reinstalling IE 7 and IE 6. I also tried repairing IE, and turning off firewalls and anti-virus software. I need IE to access Quick Books online so that I can work, and the laptop is too hard on my eyes. Any help you can give would be much appreciated. Thank you!

QUESTION: Hi Sandeep,
The IP address is 192.168.1.101
When I ping yahoo from the command prompt I get a good ping.
Also, I forgot to mention that I am able to access email and get online using firefox on the effected computer.
Thank you for taking the time to help!
