hi guys i am no computer wizz so i need your help on this one. a while back i tried using safari which was good but this week i wanted to go back to internet explorer i have internet explorer 7 and when i opened it it displayed Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. i typed in other site addresses but yet the text remained. on the address bar it always seems to display http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=74005 and when i type something in such a www.google.com it then displays C:\Documents and Settings\dell\Favorites\www.google.com.url whilst loading but then it says cannot display the webpage. so i uninstalled internet explorer and reinstalled it and the problem remained. safari remains fine but i want to use internet explorer. what should i do?
