I have an HP Pavillion zv6000 series laptop with the AMD Athion 64 processor and am running Windows XP.

I'm having trouble with IE 8. It will not open a page. It asks to send an error report to Microsoft and that it needs to close. After hitting don't send, it just locks up with no page opening. If I try sending the eroor report the same thing happens. I tried shutting off my fire wall but it had no effect.

I am able to access the internet using Firefox on this computer, but I do not like it as much as IE.

I ran Malwarebytes but it found nothing. I tried re-installing IE8 but to no effect.

Please help!

I do have connectivity issues with IE8, though not quite the same as you describe. On relatively rare times, it says not connected tho I am, It likes to not load a website's CSS file, etc... but load the page itself.... It acts like I'm not connected, but I am and as soon as I mash the "check connectivity" button, it loads the page............

Rather bizarre issue........

If I understand you correctly, you want me to remove IE8, install IE6, and then install IE8 on top of IE6.

Is that correct?

What do you mean by "all version"?

I uninstalled IE8 and then found an IE6.exe. I tried to run it but it kept coming up: " A previous installation has pending work requiring a reboot. You need to restart your computer to complete that installation before running Internet Explorere setup. Setup will now close."

I tried rebooting twice, but I still get the same message.

I did try to run the IE6 setup application again, but I got the same message as before:

"A previous installation has pending work requiring a reboot. You need to restart your computer to complete that installation before running Internet Explorer setup. Setup will now close."
