when i attempt to open ie, the status bars shows bad url "flashing" and the
pointer is also "flashing" and it will not show a webpage. the status bar
says "bad url finding site grandstreetinteractive.com. Also, msconfig opens
and closes immediately when I attempt to run it and cannot do ctrl alt del
(nothing happens, however i noticed the task manager window opened and then
closed). Don't know if this is related, but i ran in safe mode and tried
ipconfig at command prompt and this is the message i rec'd = an internal
error occured: the request is not supported. additional info: unable to
query host name. When I did ipconfig in normal mode I was able to see ip
address etc...
