    hi guyzzzzzzzzzz
    I'm havin trouble with an Internet Explorer CD-ROM textbook,
    it used to work fine on my Windows XP operated IE 6 computer,
    a few days ago, I bought a Laptop which is Windows Vista Home-Premium operated - and you guessed right, IE 7 - on which i installed the textbook.
    On the old PC, all links worked correctly, but on the Laptop, many links do not work or even show on the page, instead i get an "Unable To Display Page" on that part of the screen, and most of the other links do not respond when i click on them...
    I downloaded & installed the 'User Agent String Utility 2' from microsoft.com - a small program that emulates IE6 on IE7 browsers, but it proved to be useless!!
    I'm pretty sure its an IE prob not an OS coz when i installed IE7 on my XP operated problem i went through the same problem, especially that i can't uninstall IE7 from my Vista Laptop
    Can anyone help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee???

    Can you try another browser, like Firefox, and see if same thing happens?

    For Firefox latest version, go HERE.
    During installation, it'll ask you, if you want it as your default browser. Say YES (it can be easily changed later).
