Browser Dilemma by ipab on 01-04-2006 at 09:01 AM
I seem to have a problem with internet explorer. Everything I type into the address bar somehow opens up the default web browser (which is either ff or opera) and this always happs. I have tried the "reset my web settings" but that doesn't see to do anything. I'm pretty sure i have no viruses etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

I once had the same problem, I think the only way to fix it is to make IE your defult browser again.

You could reinstall IE. Or upgrade to IE7 if you can get it

I think thats what caused the prob in the first place, me using ie7. I cannot manage to install it. It says it cannot verify the authenticity of my system, even though mine has passed the test numerous times before

This is an IE7 thing.
Are you typing a HTTP URL (http://) or a filesystem URL (file://, C:\)?
