Anyone got any ideas on this?
I'm running Windows 7 and every time I open the browser (any of them ) it goes to Vodafone page...and link and new tab opens the same page.
I've even reinstalled the software but still the same.
Can't get on to anything else but that page ....any ideas...??

Which browser are you using on Windows 7 mate?

 

[swamper]

I've reinstalled gaz so it internet explorer

Swamper, try Google Chrome.

 

[swamper]

Its letting me in.Part move around the Vodafone website..but that it

 

[GazHyde]

Seriously, forget Internet Exploder. Even Microsoft have replaced it finally on Windows 10 (although it's still there)

https://www.google.co.uk/chrome/browser/desktop/

I can't get anywhere to download it from ht I'm stuck on the Vodafone website

Christ Wayne, I hope I don't end up with that problem. I'm on windows 7.

It's knackered Tony...something has managed to get past the reinstall

 

[swamper]

I'm going to try and load a different operating system on it and see what happens.

Spent 6 hours today trying to get software on one of my machines...and that didn't go well.....it's been a day of software...!!!

Sounds like you need to call your IT man mate. It's looking like we might have to take our guy over to Florida to install some CCTV cameras at our place. At least I can take him to the Good Guys Custom show.

I'll sort it Tony....I was just hoping that one of the gurus on here might have come across it before....it's a serious bit of kit to survive a reinstall..!!

 

[t-tony]

Hope you get it sorted ok mate. Way over my head! If I can't do it with spanners etc. I'm fooked. IT came way too late in my life bud.

Have you any machine that works ? You could download a browser set up like mozilla. That uses no windows files drop the setup onto a memory stick and install it from the memory stick to the problem pc.

 

[billz]

Have you checked what your default home page is in Internet Options ?

@swamper

Do the right thing and bin that Windows rubbish.

Buy a Mac! (And stay off the adult sites)

Its an option but I use 3 browsers and it did it on all three even after it had a software reload...bizarre!
