Can you help me fix my internet connectivity problem with IE8?

I hope you don’t expect help from any women. :)

Download malwarebytes and check her system for viruses first.

Download and reinstall IE from the Microsoft website.

I edited it.

@dpworkin
I did that. Didn’t work.

go to menu TOOLS,than do to INTERNET OPTIONS.go to CONNECTION tabs,and click on SETTINGS tab.than you have to uncheck the use o proxy server for this connection( )and click ok or Try unclicking Automatically detect settings in Tools-Internet Options-Connections-LAN Settings

dont you hate that people still fucking make things that HAVE to use IE.

Well now that you edited your question, I look like a jerk. :P

On a couple of machines, I found that IE8 “Compatibility View” is pretty much incompatible with the Internet.

From the Command Bar, select Tools, and then select Compatibility View Settings

Hope that helps.

@DrasticDreamer
sorry! :)

Thanks for the info @jaytkay, I will try that.

@uberbatman yes, I freaking HATE the fact that I have to use IE. It’s horrible.

@jaytkay

didn’t work.

Tools > Internet Options > Security > Slide the security slider from “Medium-high” to “Medium”

@Captain_Fantasy
didn’t work

I don’t think it’s an IE setting. I remember when it happened. A little box in the lower right corner of the monitor popped up, she clicked it, and that was it. But I don’t believe it was McAfee, and if it was, I disabled McAfee.

Thanks though.

maybe you could do a system restore?

@earthduzt

is that simple? what does it entail? I just re-opened McAfee and reset all settings, no dice.

Try resetting your browser.
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Reset.
This will restore IE to factory defaults.

@Captain_Fantasy

I thought I did that but it didn’t work.

BINGO, IT WORKED. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

<—Glad to help.

And you wonder why he gets the big lurve!

For future reference. You can change the user agent string in Safari to make the site think you are on IE. This will work 95% percent of the time to get to IE only sites. Here is a pic.

@johnpowell thanks! that’s awesome.
