Default Internet explorer

I am having all sorts of problems with my internet explorer. I hit the icon to bring up the explorer and bam, it is up and to my homepage in a split second. The problem happens when I try to navigate to another page. It freezes up and becomes unresponsive. You guys know what might be the cause of this?? It is driving me mad since the computer cost me $3000.00 and is only 3 weeks old. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

well, looks like ur going to have to take it either to Best buy or something, OR get a copy of Firefox, or opera. if you have any friends, you can have them download it from the net and put it on a CD. I hate IE, too much highjacking options open for hackers to exploit, i.e: those toolbars like the dreaded "my Search" toolbar.

Go on Microsofts website and redownload Internet Explorer and reinstall it, see if that fixes it, if not try a system restore, if that dont work try another web browser and if that dont work go ahead and throw your pc out the window j/k....

BTW Nice Case
