Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble getting on to Jono’s and Judy’s sites, I keep getting an ‘Internet Explorer’ cannot open this file message and the whole thing closes down and I have to re-boot?

Well I can see my own site, but I don’t use IE, I use Firefox. I certainly haven’t changed anything this end.

It’s not just you. I can’t get onto their sites either. IE just shuts them off saying that it can’t open their sites.
If I click the “refresh” or “back button” I still cant read their pages anymore.
I think I will have to download Firefox, because IE8 seems to be a load of crap!

I have done a bit of research and I may have the answer. I found this quote on a tech help forum.
“Internet Explorer expects you to download and install plug-ins and does not have the option of automatic updates of the browser. Mozilla Firefox allows for automatic updates, which is why many prefer it even when there are many new browsers hitting the market.
When you need to open a site that requires many plug-ins, you end up with the following message: ‘Internet Explorer cannot open the following internet website‘.”
So I installed IE8 and did some testing. My site requires flash and other plug-ins and sure enough without them installed I had the same problem.
I would suggest that you either get Flash and other plugins installed or switch to what IMHO is a superior browser.
