I have been trying to open the internet browser on my laptop but it won't open. I am connected to my network. It keeps failing to open. It's frustrating cause I don't know why. I have ran the disk clean up and scanned my laptop for viruses. What else can it be?

Are you talking about your Internet Explorer browser or another browser?

If it's Internet Explorer (IE), then it could be an ADDON that's causing this problem with IE. Restart your computer to make sure there's no hung instances of IE, then go to Control Panel, then double click on "Internet Options", click on [Programs] tab at the top, then "Manage Add-ons" button. Try disabling everything in there then [OK] your way out and then test IE to see if that opens up.



If not, then you could try using HiJackThis (http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/) to scan your computer to see if there are any Browser HiJacks or Addons that are dodgy and that maybe causing your Internet Explorer to hang.



The problem I see is that there seems to be something that's 'hooking' onto IE or Windows Explorer that is hanging it from loading up correctly. It could be suspecious malware/spyware or virus as well so what you can also do is download and install Malwarebytes (from another computer obviously as your IE isn't working) - you can download it from http://www.malwarebytes.org/, install it then restart your computer in Safe Mode and then do a FULL SCAN from Malwarebytes to see what it picks up.



I've always found that Malwarebytes picks up stuff that Trend Micro, AVG or NOD32 doesn't pick up or is too late to pick up and can't clean it.

Sometimes you have to reinstall your browser. Hope you have a backup browser to do this with, cause the shortcut could be corrupted.

I had this problem before, but i restarted my computer and then tried to open my browser again... and then it worked

Try launching the .exe for the browser itself, don't use a shortcut. The shortcut could possibly not lead to the .exe

try ctrl alt delete if it shows its open then end the task other wise try a restart if you using IE i sugest to change to fire fox as it has faster loading speeds
