I'm using Modzilla

[fett]

now whether I like it or not. IE doesn't work on my computer anymore and I don't know fukking why.

[shobet]

So what does IE do when you try and start it?
Do you run anti-virus software and a firewall. Does your PC get the latest Windows updates?

[fett]

I may not have updated. Even ebay is telling me to. I hate fucking with what was there that I am used to.

[shobet]

Ebay is telling you to update? Asking you to update your account by any chance?
And you didn't answer what IE is doing? You don't give us information we can't fixy magic box!

[fett]

It's says; FORBIDDEN. ebay is telling me to update my browser.

[shobet]

Do you have anti spyware programs on your PC? Is the anti-virus software picking up any viruses?

[fett]

I don't know.

[shobet]

That will be a no then...

[fett]

No. That doesn't mean, "NO". It means I don't "KNOW".

Fett,
What version of IE are you using, what's your operating system, etc?

Damn it, it's 2004 XP Home. IE Version? Beats the hell out of me.

Damn it, it's 2004 XP Home. IE Version? Beats the hell out of me.

To get the IE version number, go to Help->About Internet Explorer

The version is listed there.


If you can't get IE to run at all you can go to:

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer

and right click on the file iexplore.exe and select Properties.
When the properties box comes up, select the Version tab.

This just sicks Viking Norm-Like Wind. I'm about ready to fly my son up here to fix it.

I've been doing the Modzilla thing for a month and like it.
Some things are funky... like E-Bay doesn't like to refresh the auction page properly (have to use the normal refresh button is all) and sometimes Hotmail get's strange with trying to post pics, or cut/copy/paste...not sure what's up with that, but it's no biggie.
Anything to stick it to "the man!"
