Get this file first :\nie6setup.exe\ncopy it to your C Drive folder (for example C:&#92;temp).\n\nFrom the temp directory do this EXACTLY\n\n"C:&#92;temp&#92;ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"\n\nYou must include all of the quotes (6 of them).\n\nClick OK. \n\nAccept the EULA: \n\nand proceed.\n\nGood luck

my question is.. what type of modem do you have? does it have internet LED? if it does, it means that it also has a gateway IP- probably 192.168.0.1 - \nconnect your modem to pc directly and access modem interface- and you can set it on a bridgemode so that your modem won't have PPPOE anymore - only your router-\n\n\nto set modem in bridgemode- access the modem interface by typing default gateway in address bar-\nclick advance button and PPP location- set it to bridgemode-\ninternet light will be off by then-\n\nif your modem has no PPPOE in the first place then try updating your NIC or probably uninstalling it and re-installing it..

First here is the link:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx\n\nJust remember there are lot of new things in this version 7. If any of your friend got it first look yourself then install. It is good but painful. It will take time to understand this version. Overall it is good.\n\nnihon94@yahoo.com

You seem to be decently knowledgable about computers, and as a result, I can't help but suggest you might upgrade some components of that computer. Even for "googling", a computer with those specs can have trouble running the newest versions of Internet Explorer (rather it can, but if you try doing 2 or 3 things at once, it's going to slow down drastically). For $25-$50 you can get a significantly faster processor, and if necessary, for another $50 you can get a newer motherboard to put it on. You'll likely be able to keep every other component of the computer, yet you'll have a significantly more useable computer.\n\nOn that note, I would recommend staying away from Windows XP and ME. I would personally suggest sticking with Windows 98 SE. The reason is that as we've gotten new operating systems, the hardware requirements have went up. I upkeep 50+ computers that are about 6 years old and are running Windows 2000. The OS isn't my choice, though it's probably the best for my situation. But I've seen how much troule the computers have on the internet because they're pretty close to the minimum requirements for the OS. Stick with an older OS and you'll have faster speeds as a result.

Linksys sells a 'booster'. Also, they now make routers with built in booster circuitry. It might also be that the 'new' modem is simply bad. Have a tech check it out.

check that you have a good connection to the net, check cables, plugs... if nothing happens You may have a virus, try cleaning up all the cookies and temporary files in your computer, download AdAware (the latest) from www.download.com, its free, run it, that should help a lot, if it doesnt, try uninstalling and reinstalling explorer.. good luck

Its simple.\n\nWith the broad band connection on, reinstall the IE7. It will automatically detect the BROADBAND connection and automatically configure for it.\n\nIf it is not working, after installing IE7, Go to tools --> Internet options --> Connections --> Configure the broadband connection --> Select 'nevel dial a connection' --> click 'apply' or 'ok'\n\nall the best.

Right , Right click on My Computer then properties > Hardware > hardware manager . \n\nIt will give you list of all hardware installed in your PC .\nCheck under modems or networks cards is there any thing saying about Broadband.\n\nOr any additional hardware more then your dial up fax modem and network card is there.\n\nSome time you need to check Hardware drivers.\nalso some BB (Broadband) supplier give you diagonastic tools then can check your PC ready for BB or not.\n\nIf you are in UK u can try  Blueyounder or ntl tool from there websites.\n\nHope this help

Hi,\n\nHow did you delete IE7? Did you go to the install directory and select all the files and go delete, or did you go into Add/Remove Programs through Control Panel and remove the program from there?\n\nWhen exactly is the error message occuring? At the login screen? Is this both in normal and safe mode?\n\nHave you tried going into safe mode without starting network components?\n\nWith your PC off have you tried removing the network card and rebooting?\n\nIf you really can't get back in you might want to try doing a Windows repair by booting from the CD/DVD drive with the Windows disk in the drive and see how repairing the system files works out.\n\nAs a last resort you may need to re-install, as there are a lot of troubleshooting steps to go through. In which case, if you haven't backed-up you might want to remove the hard drive and put it in someone else's machine and save all your data to their machine.\n\nThen do a fresh install of Windows plus apps\n\nHTH

Try downloading Iternet Explorer again. And if you want to go to my Computer goto start menu My computer or click on my computer icon on desktop.

you got a tough row to hoe trying to get 95 and xp to work together, it is hard enough with 98 and xp. if you look around you might find some sort of software that will hook them up, but tried once or twice and gave it up. I just ugrade the 95 to 98 and get it going

You said that your computer unable to connect internet so how you can See my opinion.\nThough Atfirst goto the add hardware wizard. If any net kit , or hardware disable than enable it.\nIf it doesnot work then goto Network connection Wizard.\nYou can find something will be wrong.Some Data will be missed.\nFilled it. your connection will enable . I hope so.Have a nice day.

If email is not an option then please let us know how the computers are physically connected together, if you have put any info into the network cards on the computer, what green lights are on at the connections, etc. I am not sure what you mean by installing the router program and resetting it. Do you mean you reinstalled the operating system on the router and that you dumped the old configuration by resetting it? This format ( answers.yahoo.com )for troubleshooting is extremely difficult because we cannot get feedback.\n Did anyone change any of the network settings in the new computer that was replaced before you got it? \nThank You.

I have an eMachines T2885 with a 2.8GHz Celeron and Windows XP (includes Service Pack 1), and I just tested the problem, and I believe I may have successfully found a solution.\n\nThe problem:\n"The web page cannot be saved to the selected location."\n\nI suppose many of you have gotten this error on your machine.  Here is what I found:\n\nWhen attempting to save a Web page with WinXP Service Pack 1, many pages will not be saved.  I suppose many of you have figured that out.\n\nNow, I downloaded and installed Service Pack 2, and went back to the same page I tried to save under SP1, and I had no problem saving the page.\n\nHere's the kicker: I downloaded and installed Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 Cumulative Security Update KB912812 (a file that is 4.79 megabytes), rebooted, and tried to save the same Web page again.  It would not save the page.\n\nSimply put, something in KB912812 interferes with Internet Explorer 6.0's ability to save pages that should not be a problem saving.  I can't say if the solution is foolproof (I haven't tested it on complex Web pages), but it's worth a try.\n\nThat is, get Service Pack 2, but do NOT install KB912812.  If you have KB912812 installed, get rid of it.  Microsoft should really have a look at the code inside that file, to see why it interferes with Web page saving...\n\nThen again, you could always try Netscape 8.1 or Mozilla Firefox.

you are going to have to configure your router.  Follow the directions that came with it.\nIt may also be set to automatically require a password, which you will need to enter in your computer (or disable this function and make it an open network)

sometimes i get the "explorer has ecountered a problem. I dont know why. Some tell me that I have to many sites opened at once, or if there is more than one computer in your house that is in use at the time may have something to do with it. Send an error report to your computer.   Good Luck

My experience with Windows 98 machines is that USB or wireless is pretty hopeless.  If the machine doesn't have Ethernet, I'd recommend buying an inexpensive Ethernet card -- you can get them for less than $10.\n\nOnce you have Ethernet, any router will do to connect to DSL.  My favorite brand is Linksys.
