We are going to need a little more info. What does Event Viewer tell us?

What flavor IE? IE7, IE8, etc.

Coming from a non-computer person, IE is retared and more prone to viruses. I use Firefox but someone was also telling me about Opera??? Anyone heard of this?

[ElderGeek]

It's another third party browser, Google has one called 'Chrome'. They all have the're pluses and minuses. I use IE most of the time. Play with FireFox and Chrome. Haven't tried Mozilla or Opera.

[brent701]

Nvm. i fixed it

Microsoft > support > found a IE8 tip for running AVG. needed to be updated. it put it in special no-add-ons mode which wouldn't allow it to open correctly.

thanks

IE or AVG needed updating?

either way, staying on top of software updates eliminates many problems.
