D111 · 10-21-2009, 03:20 AM

Hello guys!
PC Specs: OS Win XP
IE6

I was using an external modem and i had set my default connection on IE6 to my external modem, and now i longer use it, so i decided to deleted the default connection, whenever i go to internet option, Connection when i try to remove it nothing happens the connection wont disappear.

How do i force a remove so as to get reed of this connection and live it blank?

The other issue on the another PC with the same OS is that IE7 and 8 the pages open blank and on the bottom says done, or hotmail and yahoo wont display properly, or after exiting yahoo the pages looks funny scrambled up.
I'm using LAN to connect to the Internet.

Any help please?

Do you have administrators rights on the first computer.
On the second- have you tried a browser reset (internet options advanced tab-click reset)
and is your java uptodate.

Ok! here is what i did on the first PC, i installed IE 7 and tried to open, but cannot open, or nothing happens. and when i was installing the updates where not applied suggested that i open IE7 and go to..... and update. How do i do that if i cant even open the application.

I'm trying to update Java on the other PC.
