Hi Professor-Falken

Use Firefox....lol. Tis the answer to everything you know!!

 

OK..now seriously!!

Is IE your default browser? Go to control panel>Internet Options...select the 'Programs' tab...hit 'make default' for IE. See if that helps. Looks like MSN has taken over!

 

how come no one has tried the easier fix?

Open IE, goto File > Working Offline

If it is ticked then untick it

 

I took it that Professor-Falken had done that with the connect action? may have read it wrong!!

Professor-Falken - if you haven't tried to get it online then do what phonics3k mentioned

 

Listen I installed MSN explorer to see what it was. Now sometimes when I connect to the net through Itunes Radio, Internet Explorer I get a pop up windows asking me to logon to MSN expoorer.
I cant find MSN Explorer in my installed programs through Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs. Can you help I just want to uninstall MSN Explorer.

Professor Falken

 

Now I'm hearing you!

OK..MSN Explorer is a component of XP. You may not have realised it...but when you installed the software it just brought it out of hibernation!! So to remove it do the following:

Go into the Control Panel and open Add or Remove Programs. As this is a component of the operating system you next need to select Add/Remove Windows Components which will bring up the list of all of your optionally installed windows components. Scroll down to find MSN Explorer and clear the checkbox. The last part is crucial...do not clear any other boxes!! After clicking next a few times you should be done!! Depending on how you installed you OS it might ask you for the OS CD.

Good luck

 

sorry, i did mis read the question

 

Thanks guys! Uninstalling the Windows component MSN explorer took away the problem of MSN explorer loading everytime I open Intenet Explorer. But if I ever decide to use it again is there anything I need to know.

Yes - resist the urge!

Daft question but are you a real professor???

 

You are welcome Prof!

You won't ever need MSN Explorer!! It was used as the default explorer with Windows older versions...its way less secure than IE.....now thats saying something!! Just leave it off your system...thats what you need to know!
