I NEED HELP: My computer is 7 yrs. old and has Win ME on it. I tried installing a Belkin Wireless G reciever on it yesterday and now whenever I open Internet Explorer or MSN Messenger or Fire Fox I get different error messages. Internet explorer says it encountered an error and has to close and has a littel check box u have to click otherwise it will restart internet explorer with the same error...I hope someone can help. This happens only when i try to load a page.

Remove the hardware and uninstall the item in add/remove programs and see if things return to normal. If not, run SCANREG /RESTORE and restore the registry to a date before you added the device.
(Uninstall first, then scanreg /restore if necessary.)

You might try add/remove programs again and click on internet explorer. It should give a 'repair internet explorer' option. Or try reinstalling the browsers.
Oh, and scanreg /restore is not a system restore. It only restores a previous registry.

I'm with Dave. My first thought was to repair IE; especially if the router is working.
You could also download and install Firefox and use that instead of IE.
