I am deployed at the moment and they have installed wireless internet in our living areas. I haven't been able to get on the internet for the past 5 days. When I click on the IE icon, the page comes up but after about 5 seconds of loading (before...the log-in screen for the wireless network came up quickly) it freezes up. I hit Ctr, Alt, Del and that takes a while to come up but when it does, the internet page disappears. Task Manager shows "System Idle Process" at 95-99 for CPU usage. Before the internet disappears and while task manager is up, it shows "Dumprep.exe" at 45 for CPU usage and System Idle Process at 45-50 for CPU usage. I have no idea what's wrong...mainly becuase I'm not even close to being a computer guru.

Any suggestions?

Dumprep.exe is a part of Windows error reporting tool, and it's normal for it to run, when an application crashes.
What IE version?
Did you try Firefox?

I believe it is IE7. No I haven't tried Firefox...should it already be installed on my laptop? If not, I can't get on the internet to install it or update IE.

I saw on another site that I should disable the error reporting tool...would you agree with that?

You can try....

I tried that and it didn't work. Norton doesn't see anything wrong. OMG this is so frustrating...

What computer are you posting from?
Download Firefox on working computer, and move the installation file to bad computer.

I'm at work right now...I will try download Firefox when I get off and see if that works. Thanks!
