I have dowloaded the firefox, however, it is not compatible with IE. So I try to use in admixture.

When I update my webpage, I used to reload the webpage to see if the modification works. These days, I found a problem with my IE: when I reload my webpage for several times (normally 3 times), IE shows that the URL is not valid. The links in my page could not work either.

I don't know if there is some virus or something wrong with IE setting?

Hmmmm.....sounds like maybe a type of virus or adware program ahs been installed to clash with ie and have rederections or stop connections. Also it could be your servers fault, not sure. Maybe firefox is interfearing with ie so you can't run both at the same time?

Spy sweeper is active in my computer, and no virus it could detect. I close firefox when I met the problem, but no improvement of IE.

Maybe there is a setting error with my IE, or maybe a embed virus in my IE( is it possible?).

You reload the third time, after your entire page was loaded, and it says that it cannot find the page? Tried selecting the URL and pressing Enter, in the address bar? Odd, though.

Seems Reload function is not the same as URL typing(...). Today I tried this issue again, and found that IE function reloading correctly if no Firefox have ever been launched. Otherwise IE will crash

after 2~4 time reloading, but I tried more than ten times with typing, IE worked. I had also done an opposite test: having run IE, use Firefox to reload the webpage, it worked with any error.

So I wonder there maybe some conflict with the register of two kinds browers or it's just one bug in IE, who knows.

Does anyone here knows how to refresh IE with the pure one?

I think there may be a conflict because even if you close firefox it could still be running in proccesses....which u can c by hitting control-alt-delete...try closing firefox from the processes menu and see if IE works

You have suggested another way to detect the problem.

There should be something changed after firefox was opened: in memory or disk.

However, I couldn't find the involved processes after closing the firefox. So the changed data may remains on the disk. But I used different temp directory to cache the pages, cookies. Now I have more confidence that firefox changed something in the register info which IE temp to read/write.

try clearing ie cache and offline files. if you have firewall, blocking some ip's or stoping some service may cause that problem. and firefox use diff method of caching and fully independent to any browser, even in mozilla. and firefox is immune in spyware
