Hello Rickles...

Let's take a quick look at a couple things while happyrock gets his moving done.

In Internet Explorer, click "Tools" on the toolbar and select "Internet Options". In the Internet Options window, under the "Connections" tab, click on the "LAN Settings" button. In the window that opens, make sure that the only check-box selected is "Automatically detect settings". If you make any changes here, apply them (Ok) and restart IE8.

If that doesn't help...or you make no changes...

Click "Tools" on the toolbar and select "Manage Add-ons". With "Toolbars and Extensions" selected in the left pane, disable all of the listed Add-ons, and restart IE8.

Do either of these options help?

Hi wannabe1

I didn't ealize that happyrock is still getting his moving done.

Anyway I followed the instructions and found:

In the "Not available"

Discuss was enabled, and I disabled it


In the "Microsoft Corporation"

Research was enabled and I disabled it.

But still no go on IE8 though.

Was "Automatically detect settings" already selected? (first set of instructions in my previous post)

Hi, The problem has been fixed. It seems that my laptop has a wee button that can switch the Internet system off or on.
