I know that kazaa lite makes you alter your HOSTS file. Did you back up the original? My guess is that you messed something up in there. If you have a backup, restore it.

Again people, I can't stress this enough. Stay away from P2P appas ESPECIALLY if you have no idea how to use/install/download from them.

p2p

p2p means peer to peer as in peer to peer file sharing on progams like Kazaa or Winmx etc.

Go into IE options. In "advanced" make sure ssl2 and ssl3 are checked. You will not get into secure sites without one or both of these checked. Netscape may have highjacked these settings.

You can try repairing IE. http://www.longshome.com/InternetExp...okExpress.html
Millions of ppl use Kazaa so I'm pretty sure its not rendering everyone's IE unusable.

ok I follow the instructions and now Xp is not letting me download the IE6. It states:




Designed for Microsoft Windows XP LogoHardware and software products displaying the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo have been tested for compatibility with Microsoft Windows operating systems through use of Microsoft-provided testing procedures. For the best performance, Microsoft recommends using hardware products that display the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo on the external packaging and on the device itself.


Software for hardware products with the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo has a digital signature from Microsoft, indicating that the product was tested for compatibility with Windows and has not been altered since testing. For the latest updates, including security fixes, service packs, new Help files, and device drivers, see Windows Update in Help and Support Center. You may also want to contact the hardware vendor directly and ask for a device driver that has met the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo requirements. For more information, visit the Microsoft Windows Logo Program (go to http://www.microsoft.com/ and search for "Windows logo program") on the Microsoft Web site.

Warning

Microsoft strongly recommends you only use device drivers with the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo. Installing device drivers that have not been digitally-signed by Microsoft may disable the system, allow viruses onto your computer, or otherwise impair the correct operation of your computer either immediately or in the future.



AAH what is this???
