[Ham-Computers] RE: Internet connections and IE

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

Hi all,

Just wanted to update everyone that Loren's problem is fixed (or at least seems to be).  Ended up being a corrupted NIC installation.  Un-installing the NIC (and associated "ghosted" entries) and letting WinXP re-install it after reboot now allows IE to work again.

If you need more details about "ghosted" entries, I've posted before about how to make Windows display them (devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices).  Search the archives for details.

Mozilla.

Huh?  This doesn't sound right...never seen IE ask for a "driver".  Can you 
verify the message (or post it here)?  You may have an IP stack corruption 
that needs to be repaired.  Common in situations where spyware was removed 
by "brute force".

Yes, I have seen situations where IE didn't work where other browsers 
worked...often caused by IP stack corruption, a 3rd party toolbar, 
mis-behaving add-in, or some other similar cause.

Post the error and let's try to figure it out.  If I missed it in an earlier 
post, sorry...post post it again or e-mail me direct.
