    "It will also sign onto msn messenger"


    Have you rebooted the wireless router?

    I have a problem with my laptop, every time I click on the internet it will not load and shows the page sorry this is not working or whatever it says, as if I were not connected to the internet.
    Well what does it say exactly - I've certainly never seen a page with the text "sorry this is not working".

    So you can connect MSN messenger - yes?
    So that means it is connected to the internet - yes?

    Have you tried plugging it into the router rather than using it wirelessly?

    What OS are you using?

    Just trying to clarify

    I have not tried plugging straight into the router no will try that next. we are with AOL. yes it will connect to face book so it is connecting online but the internet server thingy wont load any webpages not even thrugh msn messenger. I have delted internet explorer and put back on and it made no difference, even tried getting it from another laptop onto mine again still made no changes.

    Only thing my mom suggested was getting back up discs but these are pricey so are my last option!

    Maybe your "connection" settings in IE have been altered.

    Click on Tools (on IE) and Internet options and see what it says there

    Putting that text into google throws up a shedload of results the first being from MS support -

    You'd probably do better following the MS debugging advice than asking for guesses here.
