View Full Version : FAO Computer Geeks
On this laptop, I cant open any links on the interweb.
For example www.google.co.uk (http://www.google.co.uk), i would not be able to click on that and it open.
Why?
I click it and it just does nothing, I hate computers.
Also on my other laptop I cant download anything?
Does a computer ever work as its meant to? Theyre forever winding me up :mad:
Viruzzzzz
or borked router.
I suggest a macbook, they just work and are pretty much idiot/child/wife proof, and are ace for barebacking the internets lol
This laptop has Windows 7, and IE 8 i think....
It has ESET Smart security, mayebe?
get firefox
and then try...

Internet Explorer is terrible nowadays, any way here is a possible fix for you Paul >LINK (http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-27490-link-not-open-in-internet-explorer#newanswer)<
Personally as suggested I'd ditch using IE and use Firefox.

Paul have you installed Firefox at all? It's worth a go tbh, I use it most days as well as Safari, a hell of a lot quicker too.
