Hi Maged,

First of all- welcome to TechTalk! :)

The "numbers" for the web pages are their IP addresses. If you can reach a site by its IP address but not by its URL (the "www." address), that usually indicates a problem with your DNS settings.

Can you give us any more info on the history of the problem?

- How long has it been happening?

- Had you installed/removed/updated any software at around that time?

- Have you had...

Hi CiscoJP,

Have you gone through the system and manually flushed out the contents of all of your Temp, Temporary, Cookies, etc. folders yet?

How long has this been happening?

What sort of network/Internet...

Glad you got sorted out :)

Agreed. I can't say where your problem lies either, but I can say that I had Netscape (version 7.1 at the time) installed on one of my computers and then later installed both Firefox and Mozilla...

It should be OK; not all of the .dlls listed in antioed's solution will be present on every Windows installation. In the particular case of msjava.dll, if you have Sun's version of Java installed...

- Has this been happening ever since you built the computer, or did the problem start occuring at some later point?

- Are you directly connected to the modem, or is there a broadband router in...

Ok- a couple of quick things I'd try, given that it's only your current account that's having problems:

1. Log in as an administrator, create a new user account, log out of the administrator...

Do you mean that IE is broken under your user account, but works with all other accounts on the system? If so, what happens if you create a new user account and try to use IE from there?

The programs you mentioned shouldn't be causing the problem.

When did the problem start, and had you made any othre changes around that time?

Have you run SpyBot and Ad Aware SE yet? If...

OK- thanks for that info.

Alright- keep us posted either way. Can you tell us what exact settings you changed that (hopefully) fixed teh problem? If you can post that info here it couldl help others who might be having...

Try this: Instead of having the router dynamically assign your IP/DNS info, set the IPs statically instead and turn off DHCP in the router. For the DNS entries, use the IPs of your ISP's DNS servers;...

Unfortunately, that's definitely not true- there is no single utility which can reliably detect and remove all of the malware out there. At the very least, you should run Ad Aware in conjunction with...

Given what you've told us, it really does sound like a DNS problem. Have you contacted your ISP to see if they know of any problems with their DNS servers? The problem might be on their end; can't...

Hi Matt- welcome to the site!

Scan your system for viruses, spyware, and other infections; malicious programs can seriously alter and damage IE. Read the threads in our Security forum for more information on how to detect and...

Glad that worked for you. Traditional anti-virus programs don't do a very good job of detecting "spyware", so you do need to run anti-spyware utilities in conjunction with your AV utility

Please post more specific info on the exact text of the error messages if possible; we'll be able to get you a solution more quickly that way.

More info on that can found in the links returned from this Google search:

Have you checked your system for Adware/Spyware infections? They can cause the type of problems you describe, and it would be good to determine if they play a part in your problems.

Have a read...

Could you tell how you got it? Posting that information here could help others in the future.

Thanks.

Did you try step #2 of my above post? If so, did that give you the same error?

- When did this start happening?

- Have you verified that your Internet connection to your ISP is functioning? Try these steps and see what you get; tell us what happens for each step:

shortone,

Does the above mean that you've solved the problem? If so, I'll mark this thread as solved.

redboy,

It sounds like spyware/hijackware. Have a read through the "Helping yourself" post at the top of our Security forum for information on detecting and removing the pests.

Phas,

I've split your posts into their own thread. The new thread is located here:

Any pertinent error messages in your event logs?

Phas,

You need to post your question in it's own separate thread. When multiple people "piggyback" their questions on to a thread started by another member it quickly becomes difficult to...

Hi- Welcome to TechTalk! :)

1. Did the anti-spyware programs find/fix anything?

2. Have you tried to repair IE? Instructions on how to do so are here:
