    well if you dont have the internet , contact the manufacturer of your company and tell them. or call geek squad or just take it to a professional. if you still have the cds that came withe the laptop, it should be on them. they usually says driver files or apps and drivers. but something will say drivers.

    download one of these:
    -IE at microsoft.com, or
    -opera at opera.com
    with another PC then install it in your Laptop. then try to open internet link with opera / IE you’re install.

    if can’t try to reinstall your OS.

    if you got xp
    click start >search
    search all files and folders for ieplore.exe
    when you find it create ashortcut to your desktop

    open IE and see what version it is IE6 or 7
    click help >about.

    if its ie6 then run windows updates to install ie7.

    If you cannot find iexplore.exe then:
    open control panel
    click add remove programs

    on the LHS column click windows components
    in the results tick internet explorer

    reboot, thias be IE6.

    set up IE7
    IE7
    =====
    Over time IE7 seems to set its own (or programs do) tick boxes in the advance tab.
    In IE7 Tools >Internet Options >Advance Tab
    Click Restore advance settings defaults
    Tick empty temp files when browser closes (this empties the cache, which if not empty, will stop you from going online).
    Bullet disable phishing filter
    Delete Browser History, cookies the whole lot regularly.
    Close the browser to set the settings.
    NOTE: 2008 will be the year of add on malware and spyware. I advise NOT to install active x when asked to on unknown websites. If you allow an active x install and it contains adware or such, no antivirus or anti-spyware will find it, because you have given permission to install it. The cleanup programs think that you want it installed. It will be very difficult to remove.

    Phishing Filter
    =========
    When first released, phishing filter slowed IE7. Apparently, Microsoft has fixed this through the windows updates. If you like you could try to run it – bullet the enable.
    Only run one phishing filter program, like wise only run one firewall program
