Wow! it took me forever to log in cuz I forgot my password. Now, I bet you all are wondering " why didn't she just you the 'I forgot my password,' thing so that it'll email it to her," well my friends that is why I started this topic .

First of all. ever since the computer updated our explorer to #7 it's been acting freaking, and by that I mean blocking off random sites. last night it wouldn't let me download itunes. I went on the apple site, and it didn't work, so I tried a whole bunch of other sites, and it wouldn't let me download any of them!!! then I was trying to log into my hotmail account ( i need to recieve and email for online calm and If i don't respond in 4 days they won't let me do it!) and It blocked off my hotmail! what do i do???!!!!!!

Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Restore advanced settings!

Hope I helped!

Do you have to restart the computer after doing it? cuz If not it didn't work, and now it keeps signing me out of my account here.

From my somewhat limited experience in this field, you usually have to restart the PC after making such changes!

My Father upgraded to IE 7 from IE 6 and he had nothing but problem also; the same kind you are having.

I told him to switch to Firefox and he is now a happy Computer User!!

Another proof that Microsoft sucks!!

:angry:

Try Tools > Security > Restore all zones to default level

or you could just go back to IE 6

Darn that's annoying and no you just have to restart IE, try Raek's suggestion, and don't worry about it signing you out at the beginning, eventually it'll remember you again! I've had no problems with IE7, which is really odd. Did you download the one that Microsoft sent you in the update? Or did you download it off a site, because I got it through the updates that are sent through 'Automatic Updates'. Anyway, sorry for the extra problem I caused you, and hope it fixes itself, good luck!!

well my dad managed to do something (no idea what) but I can log into my hotmail now. We're still using IE7 it was an automatic update so I'm not sure how to get back to 6. Also at my dads work they upgraded to 7 and they like can't download anything. It's such a pain. i think i'm going to turn off automatic updates./

You can uninstall IE7 if you go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs > and IE7 is there. I assume it would go back to IE6 but I don't know for sure so best check things with yer dad

Also, before you uninstall, maybe you can check to see if Microsoft has issued any further updates. They're famous for releasing, then coming up with 'bug fixes' released through Microsoft Update.

I know there's at least one big update for the phishing filter causing IE7 to be slow. Get it here.

All you would have to do, is just reinstall IE6 and it will get rid of IE7......I think.

Install Linux, that will fix the problem.

I thougth Linux was an Operating System just like Windows 95, 98, 2000, etc.? where as IE is an Internet Service Provider.

IE is an internet browser, not a service provider (a service provider is who you pay money to every month for your internet connection). And yeah, Linux is an operating system and a bit of a drastic solution for what sounds like a cookie-handling issue. A better solution would be to install Firefox

I also heard that Linux is a free OS, and that it is just like windows, though a bit hader to use. I want to try Linux, but can't seem to find the download thing.
