Hello, I am helping a friend with his Dell. He does not know what his kids did, but now his IE does not work at all, it only show the common "cannot display page. I downloaded the Mozilla as server and it worked for internet connection, I also unistalled the IE and reinstalled it from the net and still did not work and still shows the same "can not display page". Also his Limewire programs don't open up either. I just did a "System Restore", going back to February which was the earliest it let me go back, and still the same thing. IE does not work at all neither Mozilla or no server. It even shows them intalled from the "add & removed programs" view, but still don't do anything when you click on them. Any suggestions community. Thanks!
