Hello,
Been having a very strange problem.
Couple of weeks ago, i did install MSN Messenger 6.0
and 'boom', IE stopped working. I tried all possible
ways, including connecting my laptop directly to the
internet, overriding the internal network (machine gets
proper default gateway/DNS info).
Mozilla, opera everything works (i installed them after
IE stopped working). And i can browse other computers in
my private network.
Thinking that it could be some installation issues, i
even reinstalled my OS (full new installation).
Everything was fine for a while, until in installed
Messenger 4.7. IE quarrelled.
I can't do windows update without IE working.
Has anyone faced this problem before?
Can anyone please help me out with this? Much appreciated.
Thanks,
-satheesh
