I have Windows XP Pro, all updates have been done.

With Firefox in "Firefox Mode" the login button on the Korail website doesn't work. I have been using the IE engine to navigate the site.

Starting last night, any attempt to access korail.com with Firefox in IE mode, or with IE itself resulted in a crashed internet connection.

My computer at work (same version of Windows, all service packs etc) works fine.

I scan and update my Anti-Vir program daily.

The only thing that MIGHT have been different is I downloaded some subtitle files last night.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

Has that site been affected by the Norks attacking it, like some other sites?

Honestly, last time I tried that site 3 weeks ago, it wasn't working properly anyway... windows were sized tall and thin in some weird way. I think it's just messed up.

The thing is, I can access it from work with same OS and ISP.

I am hoping I don't have to reformat my HDD, but it's starting to look that way.

I update and scan every day, so I am not sure what I may have picked up.

Sad

Solution!

On the advice of my computer guy:

Open IExplorer and reset all changes to default.

Now the Korail site works in both IE and in FF with the IE engine running.

A very simple solution to a problem that drove me NUTS for two days.
