If neither will open then I would suggest that the IE is a broken shortcut on the desktop and that Mozilla download did not work.
Go Start Progams and click on the Internet Explorer Link there.

Also look there for Mozilla and see if that will open.

Let's see, if you really have a connection....

1. Click Start>Run (Start>"Start search" in Vista).

2. Type in (or copy and paste):

cmd /c ping google.com>%temp%\$.$&notepad %temp%\$.$

and press Enter.

3. Notepad will open.

4. Copy all text in Notepad ([Ctrl-A], then [Ctrl-C]), and then post it (paste = [Ctrl-V]) in your next reply.
