Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Managed to bring my PC back to life yesterday and everything seemed to be working.

 

However now, Internet Explorer and Firefox just won't open . Emails work (and YS's World of Warcraft) so the connection is ok. I just can't open a browser .

 

Any ideas?

[Geoid]

force it open. Go to command prompt and type in: run firefox.exe

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That didn't work .

The only thing I'd say is reinstall them from a memory stick or CD?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I'll try copying IE onto a memory stick and see if that works .

 

Thanks

[Geoid]

Don't use IE. Its too intergrated into windows, use firefox

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Don't worry Fred I do use Firefox (but I thought you had to have IE installed on your system?)

 

I managed to copy both onto a memory stick, and have got Firefox running . I'm downloading IE8 but don't plan to use it (is that a waste of space then ?)

[Geoid]

No, Windows needs IE to work. (Stupid I know)

[The Dogmother]

Did you get it working ANH?

 

I had a similar problem a while ago and reistalling them both worked.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Yes, I did, thanks . IE wouldn't load from the memory stick but Firefox did so I used that to then download IE off the internet.

 

All working nicely now . (And I'm quite proud of myself for fixing it .)

 

During the process I discovered that Virginmedia give you free online backup space for your files and emails/addresses etc so will probably use that as a second backup .
