    ^ he wants to fix his internet, not his operating system.

    delete ie and install firefox.

    I think you'll have to be more specific. What exactly is wrong with your IE6? Norton should have no problems with IE 6 or 7, so I see no reason you couldn't upgrade.

    Also, you cannot "delete" Internet Explorer. It is ingrained in Windows. Even if you remove it through Add/Remove Windows components, there will be some part of it there for you.

    Try downloading Firefox from http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/firefox/. If that works, it is a problem with IE. If it has the same issues, your internet connection might be the reason. You could also try disabling Norton Firewall. It may have a desire to block internet traffic for some reason.
