Start IE in safe mode.

Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (Safe Mode)

or something like that.

This is what happened with mine. IE crashed (it loaded up then just shut itself off before loading a home page) msn wouldnt log in, nor steam. itunes wouldnt load. all sorts of explorer errors.

Either a corrupt registry or some malware. Try downloading MalwareBytes and seeing what that finds. If it is a corrupt registry, just reinstall Windows, in can be a pain in the arse to sort out a corrupt registry.

I'm not bothered with that PC now anyway. My laptop and me are just fine playing my old games (my laptop might be a few years behind compared to most rigs but so am i with what games i have played) so i couldnt care for that piece of crap in the hall anymore.

Fair enough.

Have you got the router yet? Forgot to ask my brother what postage option he chose.

Yes mate was gonna send PM. Its arrived im just useless at setting it up. I need to grab an ethernet cable so i can plug it in to set up options and everything.

You will also need to reset it as it will have all my settings on it at the moment.

Plug in to power, wait for a min or so for it to start up. Get a paper clip and press the little black button at the back and hold it for 10 seconds or so, a new light should start flashing on the front. Release the button, and wait for the router to restart.

After a minute or so, you should be able to log in by going to http://192.168.0.1 (may be http://192.168.1.1 can't remember). Username and password are on the box itself, I think. Something like username admin, password virgin, or username virgin, password password.
