Right, computer nerds...or just people that know anything about them.

My internet (wireless, by the way) on my laptop was being pretty slow, so i thought i'd update my Internet Explorer, which i did. Now, my msn still works, but when i load up the net the page does nothing. Well, it just loads and loads...and loads. White page ftw, if you will. Now before you say it, i've already tried installing FireFox, and it didn't work. Funnily enough, the same problem (page didn't load), when i tried fireFox.

So, my question is, what the fuck is going on? Do i need to do something to newly installed internet...things, before they recognise wireless connections?
