Just a quick note. I said that only one of the accounts being used has this problem. I was wrong. I did some more experimenting and I found that three of the four accounts have this problem.
Please help, I'm begging.
Yeah, ummm... Yesterday, Internet Explorer stopped allowing automatic redirecting. I found it out when I tried to enter my hotmail account. A page came up saying something to the effect that "the settings were set to not allow automatic redirecting to new URLs" then there was a link saying "click here" and no matter if you click the link or not, you get sent to a blank page where nothing happens. I did some messing around and the same thing happens with any page that redirects you somewhere else.
Then, a couple hours later, I found that the "ctrl+f" find on page command no longer works. You can bring the window up, and you can type in a word to look for, but the "Find Next" button never highlights, and you can't actually look for the word.
The really wierd part of this is that we are using Windows XP home edition, and it is only happening on one of the user accounts we have.
I don't know what might have happened, there are three or four people who might use that specific account, so I don't know how this happened, and I tried fiddling around, but can't figure out how to fix it. Can anyone help me?
