I am so pissed off and fed up I am about to throw this frickin piece of crap aka PC out the frickin window. Trust me I would sooner sever a limb than even think of tossing a Mac out the window.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the computer, or the modem, or my connection. I have run several diagnostics on all of the above and all come up clean. Ditto says local computer geek. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the ISP software to no avail.
Up until very recently, about 3 weeks ago, I was able to read and send emails, post pics in my mailbox, email proofs to clients. But now I can barely log on for 5 minutes before being told that 'Internet Explorer cannot display that page'. Sure sucks balls, esp when I want to see pix sent to me, and have clients to whom I would like to send proofs before sending the images off for printing. Those are only a teeny-tiny 150k, 400 pixels on the long side max, and I can't upload them to my hotmail account, let alone upload them to my workshop here on dpc. I have to use a frickin PAINT computer to upload challenge images. That should not be.
Don't even mention frickin Silverlight to me, either. I installed that stupid program a half-dozen times and guess what, each time I go to use it, what appear? That asinine message that I only need to install Silverlight *once* and oh gee whiz, it's FREE too!!!!
So frickin WTF is going on?! Every time I try to see a different page I get that big blank screen and stupid message saying that 'Internet Explorer cannot find that page', and to check connections.
There is a reason why I have 2 separate computers. I have my highly valued Mac for the important stuff, ie photo storage and PS CS5. This crapadelic hunk of s**t is used ONLY for the Internet. Gawd ferbid all the crap that goes wrong with the PC, were ever to go wrong and take out recent images that I haven't yet Lacie'd up tight.
Any help would be TREMENDOUSLY appreciated.
*rant over*

I hate Explorer too. Use Firefox or Chrome. Both are great and work with every site out there.
What version of Internet Exploiter are you using?

| I don't use IE either -- switched to Firefox (free!) years ago. But your problem sounds to me like bad ISP service. I used to get that frequently when I used Comcast cable. Our public library has the same issues with Comcast. |

Do you have the same issues using chrome or Firefox?
IE is... not good. |

| Install firefox or chrome and use them for a few days. If the problem persists, then it's not the browser. |

Likewise to what other folks have said... I keep IE only for those services that are horribly behind in the times (access to work e-mails and potentially online classes).
This doesn't quite sound like a browser issue, however. |

IE? What's that? Oh...right, that crappy browser we have to use at work
At home I use FF on my Windows machine and Safari on my Apple.
