Had new computer all set up and seeming to run okay. All of a sudden, every time I try to log onto WCPS, it tells me Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and is not running! I have used IE forever and all of a sudden I can't get on here anymore!

On the advice of Hillbilly, I am accessing now using FireFox. But I cannot seem to find a 'favorites' bar...I can't live without my favorites bar!

If anyone knows why, suddenly, this might be happening, I would appreciate it! Would prefer to be back to IE since I know how it looks. sort of. Too many changes for my old brain. Oh, and I HATE LOATHE and DETEST the new Microsoft Live Picture Manager. It's so stupid! Completely lacks the very simple 'move photo' option. What kind of evil mind invents this stuff!

What edition of IE are you using? Being it is a new computer it is likely IE 9. Is the problem just getting onto WCPS or is it all sites? Favourites are called "bookmarks" on Firefox.

I believe it's IE 7.

So far only this site suddenly went poof. Is this a cookie thing? I am going to try and restore, but will lose programs when I do.

This is VERY frustrating. I know NOTHING about computers! Ugh!

I have sort of figured out favorites are called bookmarks, but it is not clear how to add them or get them in a drop down list. I am SO not good with change.

I would not do a restore because that will take everything back to a previous point. Have you tried redoing your user name and password on the WCPS website?

It would not even allow me to log in or anything. Just got the 'IE has stopped working' sign. I couldn't do anything after that.

I did do a restore. It removed a few programs I had downloaded. But here I am! IT let me back on. So, the question is, what happened in the past week that changed and booted me off WCPS?

Could it have been something that happened when I cleared my history?

I suspect that it was an error of some sort involving Internet Explorer. When you restored IE was set back to its default settings. Occasionally an error will occur while your computer is running which may be fixed by restarting. We have it fairly often with the router needing to be shut down and restarted. You should make sure that Norton is up to date as IE problems could be from a virus as well. You may want to download IE 9 from Microsoft.
