Need help! How do you restore messages?

Sep 10, 2010 4:41AM PDT

I'm trying to help my father with a problem he's having. He is trying to log on to a WiFi site but The last time he logged in he accidentally checked "Do not show this message again" so now when he opens up I.E. he doesn't get the message box that he has to click to log in. How do you restore these messages? I don't know much about Vista
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you mean logging onto a wifi web site, or logging on to a wifi internet connection?

If you mean logging onto a wifi internet connection, then tell us how he connects to the internet.

This is all I know

I'm not sure. I believe it's a wifi internet connection. He's at a campground that has Wifi internet and the connection seems to be working. When he opens up I.E. he cannot access any websites. He says that a box used to pop up when he opened I.E. He doesn't remember what it said, but there was something he had to click on to access the internet. The last time he did that, he also checked the "Don't display this message again" box. now when he restarts the computer and I.E. he doesn't get that login box so he can't connect. I really just need to know how to unhide hidden messages. I think that will solve his problem. I think it's just an I.E. issue since he says his e-mail works. That's all I know
