internet

[Guest]

hi

a friend of mine has xp on his pc, and every time he tries to access the internet, he gets an error message (error written off centre in a small box). it is impossible to get a browser page up, but emails on outlook express are downloadable, so the actual connection is sound....is it a virus? norton isnt picking anything up.

any ideas?

One thing to try is another browser. Of course you're going to have to
bring one over on CD or guess what, if you dont have a burner this one

to see if it's an internet problem or a IE problem for starters.
