I get an error report when I try to go to some websites like facebook. the at&t dsl assistant said there was a compatability between at&t and internet explorer 8. that i would need to ask microsoft to uninstall internet explorer 8. but i see on searching some people say don't do that. PLEASE tell me what to do. (i never asked for internet explorer 8 - i think it downloaded itself cause i remember having troubles with i.e. 7 - but not this issue)THANK YOU

Hi,Try adding this to your trusted sites in IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - Trusted Sites.https://facebook.com What antivirus/antispyware/security product do you have on machine? Include any you have EVER has on thismachines including those you uninstalled (they leave remnants behind which cancause strange issues).If no joy something maybe blocking it.Start - All Programs- Accessores - System Tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced Tab - click Restore then click Reset - Apply / OKIE - Tools - Internet Options - Security Tab- click reset all zones to default - Apply / OKClose and restart IE and/or IE with no addonsany better?IE - Tools- Manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, this is no longer needed but Java still installs itand it causes issues - you ever update Java go back in and disable it again.)
