Hi...

Yesterday I was trying to remove unwanted files/programs from my computer through the "Add/Remove programs" icon. I ended up deleting some Windows 2000 Hotfix KB??? files, about 3 of them.

Now I tried to open Internet Explorer then I get the message "Can't find 'www.wits.ac.za' Make sure the path or Internet address is correct". (www.wits.ac.za is my homepage}After I cancel that it does open the browser but nothing comes up.

Then on the address bar I type an address say 'www.yahoo.com' then I get a reply on the address bar "C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\Administrator\Desktop\www.yahoo.com". At the top bar there's a message 'Cannot find server - Microsoft Internet Explorer' and on the page 'The page cannot be displayed'. Once I load MSWORD and type the address on the page and click on it...the page does come up but not when I click on the IE icon. I did a Windows Update on the same PC and I went through the process of installing the recommemnded Hotfix Files but I still experience the problem. Please help....
 
do you have any other browsers you can use ?
i would use a different browser and , do windows update from that browser....not from Internet explorer...
 
Hi again...I have just installed mozilla and it works fine. But is it possible to fix IE?
 
Erm..can you type http:// before the url as of it was earching in your computer not the internet.

Go into control panel, add/remove programs...

Click add/remove on IE and click "repair"

This should sort it out!! :D
 
and if you have'nt already go to microsoft.com and get I.E updates...that is if you want to continue using this browser

Don't keep on asking this question. There are many ways of getting to the internet. Other computers, such as; friends, others in the same house, laptop, and even the library.

STOP ASKING THIS STUPID QUESTION!!!
