Windows Vista - Internet Explorer 8 on W Vista not working


Expert: Saad Shawwa - 8/15/2009

Question
Hello Saad,

My Internet Explorer 8 stopped working for some reason a couple of weeks ago, the first error message I received was that the website could not connect to the HTTP or something, the last thing i tried to fix the problem was to do a  system restore to a previews date of the problem, all this time I have had internet I can use other applications, I also tried deleting cookies, reseting my IE and now I only get the following error message "Internet Explorer cannot display website". Could you help me? or guide me to some other expert that can, Thanks a lot!!!

Answer
Hello Adraiana how are you doing

too many thing can cause IE8 to behave like that so i need more information please if you do not mind


can you browse using other browser such as firefox or opera or google chrome ?  if not  try that to make sure its only internet explorer problem and not a system problem
goto www.mozilla.com and download firefox 3.5.2 and install it and run it and see if its working

other things to check is goto control panel then windows firewall and turn it off and try to browse using internet explorer

other things to do is open IE8 and goto internet options and goto "connections" tab and click on "lan settings" uncheck "automatically detect settings" if its checked also uncheck " use a proxy etc.."  and try to browse with IE 8

if you have any internet security suites turn them off and see if you can browse using internet explorer 8

let me know how it goes so we can go into deep solutions

take care
