IE Errors When Trying to Watch Netflix

Netflix online allows you to rent movies and watch them conveniently from your computer. Once subscribed, you can select from a large catalog of movies in many different genres including action, drama and comedy and stream them right from your Web browser. Although Netflix online is compatible with Internet Explorer, you may run into display problems and slow buffer speeds. With a little troubleshooting, you can solve these glitches and enjoy your favorite movies.

Instructions

1. Click the "Refresh" button on the top of your browser. Close and relaunch your Web browser if refreshing it does not work.

2. Clear your browser's history. To do so, click the "Tools" or "Safety" menu and click "Delete browsing history." Select the categories you want to delete history for. For example, select "History," and "Temporary Internet Files." Click the "Delete" button.

3. Reset your browser if you are still unable to use Netflix. To do so, click "Tools" and click "Internet Options" to launch the Internet Options dialog box.

4. Click the "Advanced" tab and click "Reset." Click "Reset" again in the "Reset Internet Explorer Settings" dialog box. Click "Close" and click "OK" when Internet Explorer finishes restoring the default settings. Close and relaunch your browser.
