jayson Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 I run FF, and I love it, will my autoupdater is not working for my windows XP, and it tells me to update I need to have IE, to go to t he site and download the updates....Well, when I lainch IE, I get: CAN'T FIND SERVER The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. but the page (my site) displays just great with FF, does this mean I need to reinstall IE, or do I need to repair windows XP. I reall do not want to reformat my system. Thanks Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Have you scanned for spyware, virus and other evil things? It can be such as simple as that. So try that before reinstalling anything. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 You can try the IEView or IETab Firefox extensions. Sounds like your IE is set to block the site. Quote

TCH-Tim Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Ah yes, the magic reboot. Should always be the first thing to try when dealing with weird MS problems. I feel just like donating the computer to someone... If you like, I'll take it out shooting in the desert next time I go. Quote
jayson Posted April 21, 2006 Author Posted April 21, 2006 I was thinking C-4 or M-80's.....I really hate technology, or do I really hate Microsoft, or is it Hackers, Thanks for the idea Quote

Safe, legal target practice in a controlled environment is a different story. Quote
Samrc Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Science experiments are legal. 1) which would reach the ground faster from a 3 story building: a feather or a very large door stop? 2) which would sink if tossed into a swimming pool: a ping pong ball or a very large paperweight? Quote
Deverill Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Ah yes, the magic reboot. Should always be the first thing to try when dealing with weird MS problems. Tim, I tried that one time but every time it booted I had to reboot because there was a weird MS problem that kept popping up - it was called Windows. Then I loaded Linux and it was all better. Quote
