Ah, computers. I love 'em, but they're a pain in the butt sometimes. My IE exploded last night. Yeah, I know IE is crap, but I tried switching to firefox and it doesn't work with Google Toolbar, which has all my bookmarks. So I've been sticking with IE. And now it's refusing to open all the way, but it will self replicate its non-opening window over and over. *sigh*

I did have firefox available on my computer, as well. Except, apparently that was before the Great Hard-Drive Crash of '09. Currently, my computer is barren of all internet access. My plan: I've downloaded firefox setup to my flash drive. Hopefully, I'll be able to use that to set up firefox on my laptop. Otherwise, I'll have to find the discs that came with the computer and figure out which one had IE on it and reinstall that. If neither of those things works, I'll be on the phone with Dell, figuring what's wrong with the laptop.

good luck...I gave up on IE about a month ago when it continually crashed...

I have both IE and Firefox on my laptop but I like IE better. However my bookmarks migrated when I downloaded Firefox. At least most of them.

That is what's been happening with me all week! I didn't realize that Firefox wouldn't work with the Google toolbar. Maybe if I just get rid of the Google toolbar I can access the internet through Firefox?

Did you try going through add and remove programs? The toolbar on the left contains a section for Windows components. You can uninstall/reinstall IE though there, at least IE6. You shouldn't need the disk for that.
