If you've been having trouble accessing WebCT, here are some things to try:

1. If any new security software was added to your computer, it could interfere with WebCT. Anti pop-up software can be a problem, too.

2. Netscape works best for some reason. IE6 has been causing a lot of problems.

Here's a fix that WebCT recommends for IE:
To fix, click Tools->Internet Options->Advanced (tab)
Untick the "Show friendly HTTP error messages" option.
Click "OK" and restart Internet Explorer.
Frankly, we haven't had a lot of luck with this.

If that doesn't work, go to http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp and download Netscape or Mozilla.

That seems to work the best.

If you are getting forwarded to a search engine, you need to download Ad-Aware from this link: http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button

It will remove spyware from your computer that reroutes you to a search engine.
