Computer problem - network connections - LAN network cable unplugged...

[XBiker]

Damn, a new computer problem that is undocumented and unheard of.

Maybe they will name it after me.

I doubt that one.

You are merely experiencing the pitfalls of an MS OS.

It is a simple problem. It is not your connection, hardware or anything like that. It is simply a corrupt version of Internet Explorer. You need to try to repair your O/S first. Do NOT format your hard disk, just put your Windows CD in and have it repair the O/S. If that does not work, back up your stuff and reinstall the O/S. Still have a problem after that? Backup your stuff and Format C:

I put the CD in... it has :

Install Windows

Install Optional Windows Components

Additional Tasks

Check for Compatibility.

I guess the answer lies in choice 2 or 3.

Did you try using netscape or opera instead of IE?

Does every site that freezes require a password, b/c IE seems to have an autocomplete bug...

No. some of the ones do (hotmail) and some don't (ajc.com, sunsentinel.com)



I dont' have that web accelerator either that was mentioned in the link.


Maybe I should just upgrade to XP Pro and hope the problems go away.
