My Internet Explorer wont open some links on pages. I have no problem browsing this site, but the links to other pages do not work. WTF? |

Quoted: What's the error message? You may have parental "contennt" controls enabled or a problem with your DNS server that takes your www.site.com name and reply with an IP address like 123.45.67.89. It doesnt do anything. I'll click the link, and nothing happens. It usually opens another window, but doesnt anymore. |

Wierd. This might be a DNS name resolution problem - getting the IP address for a www.site.com type name - but normally you'll get a time out after about 20 to 30 seconds with the standard MS error message. If the problem is repeatable with a sight try this for me. Open a command prompt window and type in "Ping www.problemsite.com" and see what comes back. If you're able to resolve the name to IP address you'll get back a message that says pinging www.problemsite.com with 32 bites of data and then it will give you the time that the ping took to bounce back. If you get a timed out that means your DNS is having issues (or that site is down). |

The last time this happened to me, it turned out the mouse properties got all screwed up somehow. To fix it: 1. Click the Start Button 2. Open Settings>>Control Panels>>Mouse 3. Click Use Defaults, or set everything by hand Another thing you can do when I.E. gets screwed up for some reason is: 1. Open Settings>>Control Panels>>Add/Remove Programs. 2. Double Click Microsoft Internet Explorer 3. Select Repair This doesn't always work, and may request you re-install. You should try this as a last resort, if you just can't figure out what's wrong. |
