It's not Tonis' site that I'm trying to get. It is IE itself. From there, of course, I'll go to Tonis' site.

My main browser is Opera and it doesn't do Java. My Netscape is an old version, but IE is version 6. It is IE that doesn't come up. I get the "page not found" screen. You've probably had that screen many times. It says to try again later as the network may be busy, or you are using an old link, etc.

There are some sites for which I need IE. I have "Image Magician" which uses IE and that is where I store images to post elsewhere.

IE is not coming up. Right? Okey dokey. Any ideas?

repairing IE? Add\Remove Programs should have it listed there if it's been updated recently...click it, click Remove, and you will get three options, one of which is to 'repair'.

If that doesn't work, you can get the ie6setup.exe file that will by-pass the windows update center and start the download and installation immediately for you and will make most corrections enough to be able to get into the update center once you have it fixed enough to reach it.

Have you also checked your 'security' settings for IE/Internet Options to make sure you don't have it set so high that it can't get to pages? What about a HOST file that may be blocking things, since some anti-spyware programs like SpySweeper writes entries to that file and may be messing with you.

Opera should let you view my homepage, but without the java, the script for my menu across the bottom of the banner area won't show up......it does with Firefox and Netscape, even older versions to 4.79 since those are the two main browsers besides IE that I've tested it on.

A few days ago, I went into IE click on a link to a video showing the floods that occured during the recent rainstorm. I couldn't get the video in any browser, but the Windows Media Player opened on the left side of the screen and it said that I could continue browsing while I "listened or watched" the video. The video just didn't work.

I couldn't get the Player to close. Today, I can get MSN, as Sympatico/msn.com, but the player is still behind that screen, with a little of the player showing to the left. Using the "arrows" will pull the top screen almost to the far left, but it won't go completely.

How do I close that media player? Then, maybe, it will all be back to normal.

Computers are so much fun.

Thanks.

To close the WMP window....Is there a Windows Media Player "open window" link in the lower taskbar? If so, simply RIGHT click on it, choose "Close" from the menu.

If there is no Windows Media Player window link in the bottom taskbar, on Windows 98, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, then "End Task" on the Windows Media Player program..(probably "wmplayer.exe")

Hope this helps.

No. There was no WMP in the running tasks and it is not in the task bar.

There was, however, something called "Tangomanager". Does that mean anything? (Shall we dance? )

I kept running the mouse over the WMP screen and finally a box said "close". Tsk. How simple can it get? Why the heck can't they put an X there like everyone else?

Thanks Grif.

Earth: Thank you for your input. I already have the latest version of IE and my Windows Updates are up to date.

...Broadband Access Software..and if you're using broadband access, it was probably installed as part of your connection software.

Hope this helps.
