Connecting to the internet via wireless adaptor

[Bcopley]

Problems connecting to internet via wireless USB adaptor. Running windows xp. When I look at available wireless connections it says I'm connected and shows four bars of signal strength, but when I click on internet explorer I get this message:
Error Signature:
AppName: iexplore.exe. AppVer: 7.0.6000.16574. ModName: unknown
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you have connected to the wifi and put in security details then that's not the problem.

IE is plain and simply crashing, plus under XP I would switch to Chrome or Firefox for security.

I would suggest you try Firefox. Chrome collects a lot of data, in fact it is about to be disallowed at work for that very reason. One of the first things you should do, if you have not already, is install decent anti-virus software. AVG has a good free version, as does Avast, although the latter in particular will bug you with popups to try to get you to buy a paid version.

For now go into control panel, internet options, advanced, select restore and reset buttons. See if that helps. I agree...I prefer firefox.

I tried that and it's still not working. Can you tell me how to change to Firefox? I feel silly asking, but I just don't know.....thank you so much.

Well you would have to download it from another machine and put it on a flash drive and connect it to your machine and install it from there.
