Strange software conflict..I think
Internt locking up
Monday, October 10, 2005 by tonystall | Discussion: Websites
Has anyone had a problem with web surfing after installing the object desktop programs? Internet Explorer still loads, but then I'm usually limited to one page before it locks up. For instance, my hotmail account will load and show my e-mails, but clicking on them does nothing. I can select all of them by placing a check in each box, but clicking "delete" or any other function has no effect. The same type thing happens on every site I've tried. Has anybody heard of this or can anyone tell me how to fix it? tonystall

For some reason your problem kinda says spyware, browser hijacker to me but I'm starting to run down so I'm not thinking straight. Getting late here on the east coast. Gonna wander off to lala land. Good luck resolving your IE problems Bichur.

Not yet you're not.........
Go to the Microsoft update site...you're looking for the msinstaller update. Check the 'installed updates' and see if it was ever installed. You do have SP2 installed, correct?

3 days of downloading = 1 copy
ordered by mail = 1 copy
IT coordinater at work with highspeed and a soft spot = 1 copy
yes on the SP2
checking installed updates

One of two things is going on; SP2 got spanked and you need to re-install it or Lantec is corrrect and there's an ugly in your system (in which case you may want to rent that tractor again).

If it let's you re-install SP2, then I would think that will fix it. If it won't let you re-install or still doesn't fix it, then a repair might do it (doubtful...but it might). If something really is embedded in your system with all that running.....well..............a fresh install is probably the most time efficient. Let us know.....
