I didn't read any results, no proxy servers enabled or anything like that? Might have to do a HijackThis and post the results so we can see what all may be buried such as BHOs or underlying system...
Yes it will be blank in the ip settings window
I did notice in the tab box while it was trying to load google it had ieframe.dll in it?
Also set IE back to ALL default settings:
Tools.. Internet Options.. Advanced tab.. Reset. This can help getting IE back to a stable state.
My Aunt brought me her HP Mini 110 because she said "it is broke".
The problem is IE won't display any webpages. It will connect to the internet both wireless and wired because I downloaded and...
Is her Mini XP or WIn 7?
Check the Proxy settings and DNS. It sounds like it was infected with malware at one time.
Here is the instructions found here
To uninstall Internet Explorer
If you're trying to uninstall Internet Explorer because of an issue with the browser, first check to see if a solution is...
If I uninstall IE9 with no other browser on the comp how can I download IE8? Will automatically rollback to ie8?
If chrome or ff works when I get them loaded thats what she will use. I can't...
Sent you a PM.
It was checked to obtain an IP address automatically but there was none?

IE9 really isn't that bad. Microsoft has really started improving IE (though they've yet to catch up...
I am pretty sure it is infected.
I just called my Aunt and she says the only person who uses this machine is her son. The only thing it is supposed to be used for is "facebook". But I know just...
Can you use a different computer and download either firefox or chrome to a thumb drive and install them onto her computer.
See if they have the same issues.
I would also get malwarebytes or...
I'd make sure it's not infected...so try SAS or Malwarebytes. :bulb:
Then worry about what version of IE is on the box.
THIS. I would however also download and load up Firefox to see if it has the same issue. It could be isolated just to IE9 or it could be something more system wide.
I did that before I did what Rocky suggested. (set it back to default settings)
No I am not, but I can follow directions rather well. :)
Yuppers.
That's exactly it.
In the case of a virus causing the problem, it is often as easy as just going into the IP and DNS settings to fix it.
Naturally, the virus/malware has to be removed...
It's fairly similar in XP.
See screenshots above your last post.
You can also try uninstalled IE9 and going back to IE8. IE9 is just a Microsoft Update along with the rest of them in Win7 and can be uninstalled from the control panel.
It will auto roll back to ie8.
And thats a good idea to try I had a computer where ie9 got messed up and did something like what you had.
But first I would try this:
Open up command prompt and...
IE9 isn't listed under programs and features. Also I just checked (right click IE9 restore to previous version) no previous version on this machine.
pinged google last night, got a reply
I don't think they have an iso for starter. Does it have an option when you boot up to restore to factory default?
sounds like a virus. At that point you need combofix and some anti malware to fix it.
The other and best option is format the drive and do a re-install.
it has Win7 starter on it, can I d/l the iso for home premium from mydigitallife and use it? I dont see a d/l for starter.
or just do the factory restore from the backup recovery option?
Tried several times each time the update failed and now there is no version of IE on the machine lol
You can get the installer for 9 from here

ei.cfg can be modified to install any desired version of Windows 7.
You can extract the files of the ISO and place them on a USB...
