Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me...I can't do things on my PC like buy products on the internet, or sign into my e-mail account. Also, my MSN messenger is down. Basically, any secure sites aren't letting me in, they are just coming up as a home page for my browser!

It happened to me last year and someone told me to type a certain code into "Run", and I did, and it worked instantly, and I could purchase things online etc etc, once again!
However, my PC was wiped out in the Winter, and so I no longer have that code, if anyone knows what the code is, or have any thing which could help in any way, please reply.


Thankyou very much!

I don't know what that code would be, but maybe this page will help...

Thanks mate but unfortunately part of the problem seems to be the Microsft Internet Explorer is not working properly, and it seems sometimes, I cannot get into the options for it. I rarely use Internet Explorer because I prefer to use the media browser on RealOne!
Hopefully it will be back and accessible soon, and I'll try some of the things that link website said to do whilst on the Internet Options!
Thanks for the link mate, and if you have got any other wise words, I'd love to hear them. Thanks again.

There are better browsers than the RealOne Media Browser. You might considder getting Mozilla Firefox or Opera. Both are excellent alternatives to Internet Explorer, although the free version of Opera is Ad supported. Firefox is completely free

Cheers, I will add the firefox, as soon as this problem is sorted! I don't suppose you have any ideas do you bach_m ?
Thankyou.

Hi mate, I used the link you sent me, by going into control panel, and getting to internet options that way. However, I used all the informtation on that, and secure sites will STILL not be opned on the internet via my RealOne browser.
Is it to do with not using Internet Explorer or what? Any ideas about any of it, at all?
Thank you for your help so far mate. Cheers!

I would guess that. But one advice...

Skip RM. Ditch IE. Get a real browser and take back the web -> www.getfirefox.com

Oh right, well, I have just downloaded Mozilla Firefox, and now, suddenly, my hotmail e-mail messages are accessible. However, MSN Messenger is still unavailable to me. Can you help?
Thankyou!

did you get an update of msn messenger

I think I might know the reason, and I know the solution includes re-reggring some DLL's... Someone who know what I mean should post instructions.
