Internet Explorer doesn't work on my laptop? - Monster in the Closet - 05-03-2014 07:09 AM
The network is already connected but Internet Explorer doesn't work. Whenever I open it, it the browser (completely white/blank) stays open for like 5 seconds and then it closes before it even loads.
I tried doing what the Microsoft website suggest for Windows 8: try troubleshooting (I did; no problems were detected) and reset Internet settings (I did, but that was pointless because it was already at the default settings since the laptop is brand new).
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!!
For all the smart alecks that are going to mention that I'm using the Internet to post this question, I'm on my old laptop ATM.
