I have a problem in Windows 7 with my Internet Explorer 11. After 5 years I had to reconfigure my computer due to so much rubbish and old bits of files etc. Trouble is when I try to open some pages I am receiving the error message 'Internet Express cannot open the page requested. I have had this with about a dozen pages. The most critical one being Paypal. I can open them all in Chrome But not Internet Explorer. I did not have this problem before I reconfigured. Some might say why not stick to Chrome but I am 73 and a creature of habit and have been using Explorer since home computers were marketed. Silly old fart. Can anyone come up with any suggestions as to what the problem could be. I am at a loss why so many pages open OK but the odd few won't.
Kind regards
Delbeb

Re: Internet Explorer
Might be worth clearing out your cache, cookies and temporary files,... easiest way is download CC Cleaner from piriform..
Free version is available... https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
Make a note of any "Saved passwords" just in case though.
HTH, If you still have the same problem after running CC Cleaner post back.

Re: Internet Explorer
Thank you Wine-O,
I did try that but I didn't work. I have since updated my Explorer, the one I was using was version 8, I have now installed version 11 and the web pages will now open. Mind you I had a job installing version 11 for some reason. Thank you for your interest and reply. Much appreciated.
