Please help, cannot change Internet Settings

KaySeeDubya · 09-25-2005, 04:17 PM

Okay, I'm having problems with MSN with the error 80072efd, and the way to fix it requires me to do something in the Internet Options.

As I have had this problem for so long, I know what to do, but for some reason, Internet won't allow me. I go into my LAN settings and click "Automatically detect settings". Well I did that. But after I click "OK", it goes back to the default as if I pressed cancel.

Now I'm not sure why this is happening. Just to let it be known, I do not use IE at all, I use Firefox. IE is not my default browser.

Another strange thing that may relate to the problem, IE doesn't work at all. Every page I try to go to says "Page Cannot be Displayed". Every single site, doesn't matter what. That's why I use Firefox now.

Help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Did you click on APPLY before OK?

It doesn't say "apply" anywhere, I just checked the box and pressed OK, and it just went back to default.
