Internet explorer

Is not working. Don't know why, but firefox is working.
Any ideas why this has suddenly happened?
I've tried downloading it again, but still no luck.

Thanks.

Sorry .
Every time I start internet explorer 7 an error message comes up saying it has experienced a problem and needs to close. Also the same thing is happening on micro soft Word and the problem started at the same time with both.

Had the same problem for about 3 months and wasted many hours Googling for a solution also internet options flash's briefly but will not show.
I normally use Firefox so no big deal, other browsers work ok Opera, Avant and Crazy Browser. I would normally do a Windows XP reinstall but I can never get it back to the way I like always something not quite the same.

Thanks. I've tried various options from the internet as well with no luck.

I've now solved the internet problem but I'm still having problems with loading Word. Still keep getting error messages.

Hiya. My advice: Get rid of IE and use Firefox....!

for PC's: http://www.download.com/mozilla-firefox/?tag=lst-3&cdlPid=10865521
for Mac's: http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Firefox/3000-2143_4-10208569.html?tag=lst-4&cdlPid=10865522

Try reinstalling Office and selecting repair when asked which type of install you want to do.
Should sort out the Word problems.

As for IE - try Start/Run and enter
sfc /scannow

exactly as above (note the space). This will check all critical Windows files are still there and are how they should be.

How do you connect to the internet, Its possible your firewall is blocking Firefox or your proxy settings are not configured
