Hi

Wonder if you are able to help me please.

Was fine last night but come in this morning and whenever I try to use Internet explorer 8 the window seem to get hijacked and I get the following message

res://ieframe.dll/acr_error.htm#google.co.uk

It continues to recover the tab but then says "We were unable to return you to the page you were viewing".

It does it at such a rate that I can do nothing else with Internet Explorer.

I have reinstalled IE8 with no success. It works when 'add ons' are disabled. I am not aware of any viruses and am using Zone Alarm extreme security which throws up no nasties. Am using XP

Thanks

Rusty

Just wanted to update as problem seems to have gone away (for anyone else who may have this in the future.) I reset internet explorer settings in internet options tab and so far so good.

[Rusty]

I stand corrected - this problem has not gone away. Any ideas please on how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm also having the same problem. I also have tried all the stuff you did. Please let me know if you find a solution.

Thanks,
