Beside the favorites heading, all across6 times computer has this heading : internet explorer cannot d... when I click on them they do not go away. every time i open up the computer, there it is,for the past 1 or 2 months. I'm getting fed up with it

What did you do to loose them ?
If you did not make a backup of either your favorites or your computer then I fear you have lost them and will need to gather new ones.

For the future:
if you want to backup your favorites, then you will have to export them:
Internet Explorer:
To export the Favorites folder, follow these steps:

• Start Internet Explorer.
• On the File menu, click Import and Export, and then click Next.
• Click Export Favorites and then click Next.
• Click Favorites and then click Next.
• Type the name of the file that you want to export the favorites to.

Then you can import them anew when you loose them.

Easier:
For instance if you would use Firefox as browser you can use sync to have all of your favorites on all of your computers.
Your favorites are backed up on your cloud sync account and can be seen on every computer where you connect your sync account.

First, try to access the web site in a different computer that is connected to a different network. There are times that the site itself has the problem and not the computer.

If you can access the site in a different computer, then the problem has something to do with the internet browser that you are using. Try to use different internet browsers (i.e. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera). OR, you may optimize your browser. Here's how:

* For Internet Explorer:

1. Run Internet Explorer and click on 'Tools' menu.
2. Go to Internet Options and locate the Browsing History section.

5. Access your e-mail.

* For Mozilla Firefox:

1. Run Firefox and hit 'Tools' menu.
2. Go to 'Clear Recent History' and click the drop-down arrow for 'Time range to clear'.
3. Select 'Everything' and then click the line beside details.
4. Check browsing & download history, form & search history, cookies, cache.
5. Click "Clear Now" button.
6. Close and re-open Firefox.
7. Access your e-mail.

* For Safari:

1. Open the Safari.
2. Click the Safari menu (right beside the Apple icon) and select "Empty Cache".
3. When asked "Are you sure you want to empty the cache?", click "Empty".
4. Click the Safari menu (right beside the Apple icon) then go to "Preferences".
5. From the security dialog box, click "Bookmarks".
