My parents are having computer problems... again.
/blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' />
I've searched for the cause of their technical woes for hours... but I'm not all that computer savvy and I don't know what's wrong this time.
I know the computer is on the internet, because MSN Messenger works, and I am able to update most of my programs and such, but the Internet Explorer just isn't working at all. When I open it up I just get a blank page... nothing in the address bar, or anywhere. Could you possibly help me?
Thanks SO much in advance!!

you do have two firewalls, try disabling atleast one of them and then try again. if it doesnt work, disable both of them nad then try. multiple firewalls can cause problems.

WELL HERES THE PROBLEM... U NEED A NEW COMPUTER... OVVIOUSLY DUHH
-
I'm fairly certain it's not the firewall... this just happened now, and they're both old.
...and I think I'm all set on the new computer for now. I think [HOPE!] this is fixable.

run windows update and download all available updates - then restart your computer you should now be using IE 7. If it still doesnt load i suggest you download Firefox from here and see if it works.
Firefox for windows (http://\"http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0.0.6&os=win&lang=en-US\")
In my opinion, firfox is much faster and better. However its your choice while you try and resolve the IE issue i suggest you use firefox unless you want to use safari but thats only beta for windows.

Can you do the following please
Download [color=\"#008000\"]Deckard's System Scanner (dss.exe)[/color] (http://\"http://deckard.geekstogo.com/dss.exe\") to your desktop.
Close all applications and windows.
Double-click on dss.exe to run it and follow the prompts.
When the scan is complete, two text files will open; main.txt, which will be maximized and extra.txt, which will be minimized.
Post the contents of both text files
