IEFix Usage [For hyperlinks issue, try "Reset Web Settings" in
Internet Options first]
· Download IEFix from here
· Windows 2000/XP users, insert the Operating System CD. For OEMs,
point to the source path when prompted. (optional, see next step)
· Start IEFix. If you don't have the Windows installation CD at hand,
and if the installation source files are not present in the hard disk,
you may skip SFC and IE.INF reinstallation by putting a checkmark in
the appropriate boxes. Then, click "Apply"
· If you have installed Windows XP SP1 and if you are prompted for
iexplore.exe from ServicePack source path, mention the path as:
"C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" or "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles"
[Next SFC /Scannow process will begin and Windows begins to restore
the core system files. May take some time to complete.]
· Restart Windows
If IEFix has not solved your problem, please try reinstalling Internet
Explorer by downloading it. Windows XP has an additional step. You
need to change the IsInstalled registry value to "0" before running IE
Setup. To change the value to 0, click the button For Windows XP,
click here to enable reinstallation of Internet Explorer

Three rules-of-thumb for dealing with Internet problems
A table showing the most common codes and messages you're likely to
see on your Web browser (HTTP), when accessing Usenet, using e-mail,
or using the FTP protocol to upload or download files
Three Rules-of-Thumb for Dealing with Internet Problems:
1. If you get a message saying the domain name server (DNS) can't find
your page and you're sure you've typed it in correctly or clicked on a
valid link, try it again ? TWO more times! (Sometimes packets don't
get there!)
2. If you get a "Not found" message, the page may be temporarily
missing because of miscoding at the target site. Try it again
tomorrow...or try the home page for the site and send e-mail asking
them to restore the page.
3. Be aware that sometimes a page you've visited recently may be
coming from your cache (or the cache on a proxy server within your
company). To get the "fresh" version of the page, click on "Reload" in
your tool bar.
