Kathy Joyce Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 My system is WindowsXP and I have internet explorer version7 installed on my computer. Recently I have noticed that Internet explorer isn't connecting to the internet and on opening up the browser window it shows "This webpage cannot be found" and "http 400 bad request" shows in the top bar.I noticed the problem after installing a webcam. A program that comes with the software called Sight Speed is unable to connect to the internet as of course it automatically opens up with internet explorer so the main problem I have is that I can't use my webcam to instant message.Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?Kathy Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Definitely a good idea to check with the manufacturer for an updated driver or software program. Mad Monk also has a good point of disabling the camera, and manually enabling it when you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy Joyce Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi Mad MonkThanks for your reply, would updating the drivers for my webcam make internet explorer work again? This seems to be the main problem. The webcam itself works fine but Sight Speed can't connect as internet explorer isn't working and won't show any pages.
