Can I use msn web browser on sony bravia smart tv

The MSN Web browser is only available for the Microsoft Windows operating System.
You can still goto http://www.msn.com to view msn website. But there does not look like any way to install and use the msn browser on your tv.
Most of the smart T.V.'s are designed for a general experience, so the browsers often have less features.

How do I remove MSN as my browser. MSN is giving me a lot of problems and I do not know much about computers. Please help

Dear Anonymous User
I think as a new computer user it appears you may be confused between your default Web page and your internet browser.
From your comment it appears you may be using and Windows Computer with InternetExplorer as your web browser and MSN has been set as your default web page.
In order to change your default web page Proceed as follows:
Open an instance of your InternetExplorer
Navigate to a Web page you would like to use as your default Web Page
On the right hand side of your browser you will see a symbol of a cog wheel which represent the Tool options of your browser.
Click on the Cog and select Internet Options from the drop down Menu that appears.
On the General tab you will see the address for your default home page.
Click the button Use Current and the the address of your new home page will be displayed in the box above.
Go to the bottom of the Internet Options Page and click the Apply button.
Close your browser.
Open your browser again and you will find your preferred home page is now your default Home Page

Why does msn open as browser when I open google search

Long and short your home page has been hijacked. The previous responses are all correct and you need to follow their advice with one extra step. Every time you download or install software, do it slowly and carefully reading EVERY page/window that opens so you don't just keep hitting enter and key past the point where it says " hey sucker if you don't read this and say no we are going to make changes you don't want" and this is the gospel truth...

Microsoft sighn up is not loading

The MSN homepage is a Microsoft website that allows you to check up on the current news of the day, check your email, sign into your Windows MSN Messenger and much more.
Problems associated with loading your MSN homepage have to do with either your computer or Internet connection, or the connection on the msn.com home page.
Programs
Downloading and installing other programs may change your homepage.
This happens because certain programs have features such as add-ons and tool bars that may automatically change some of your settings.
Google and Yahoo commonly add features to their programs, and sometimes they will change your homepage.
You can fix this by opening your Web browser and clicking "Tools" and "Options" and changing your homepage to msn.com.

Firewall
Your anti-virus program sometimes blocks websites that it deems as dangerous or potentially threatening.
Open your anti-virus program and include msn.com on your Firewall's safelist of websites.


Cookies You might have to delete your MSN cookies in order to view the homepage.
Cookies typically store information from the websites you have visited.
You may have too many cookies stored on your computer to view the website properly.
You can do this by clicking "Tools" and "Options" and selecting "Cookies" from the "Privacy" tab.

Internet Browser


Go to your Internet browser and update to the newest version.
Web browsers frequently update the browsers to different versions, and you may be using an outdated version that is causing connection problems with the MSN homepage.

Can't log in to msn.com

When you log in to MSN a website powered by Microsoft you also log in to its Hotmail and Messenger programs.


Hotmail is MSN's email program, while Messenger is an instant messaging and networking program.


Because Messenger and Hotmail are connected to MSN, if you have problems logging into one program, you'll likely have issues logging in to all of them.


Register for Account


The first step to logging in to any MSN-powered sites is to have a Windows Live ID.

This includes an email address, which acts as your username, as well as a password.


The email address must end in either "@hotmail.com," "@live.com" or "@msn.com."

Even though these emails use different domain names, all can be accessed by logging in to the Hotmail homepage.


If you try to log in to MSN or any of its partner sites like Hotmail or Messenger using anything but a Windows Live ID, you won't be allowed to access or create a profile and will be prompted to create a Windows Live account.


Incorrect Password


The most likely reason you aren't able to sign in to your MSN accounts is user error.

Entering an incorrect email address or password will return an error message, informing you that either the email address you provided isn't registered with MSN, or that you entered an incorrect password.


MSN and, hence, Hotmail and Messenger passwords are case sensitive, so check your keyboard's settings before retyping your password a second time.


If you don't remember your password but know your Windows Live ID, you can opt to reset your password by answering some security questions pertaining to your account.


Browser Issues


A slow browser can impact your ability to log in to your MSN accounts.

Try deleting your browser's cookies and clearing its cache before attempting to sign in again. This process varies from browser to browser.


For example, in Internet Explorer, click on the gear icon, "Internet Options" and click "Delete" under Browsing History.

Check the "Cookies" box and click "Delete."


Internet Issues


A slow Internet connection can also hinder your login attempts.

Check your Internet connection to make sure you're connected to the Internet.


Also, check that you're working online instead of offline, which can prevent you from logging in.


Click on the "File" tab at the top of your browser, and make sure there's not a check mark next to the words "Work Offline."


If there is, click on the words to uncheck that option and sign in again.

There might be some interference from another browser

Create the menu tab on your homepage right click in the top toolbar you should see a number of toolbar options select the menu tab which will add File Edit View Favorites Tools and Help

Click on the tools at the bottom of the drop down list will be internet options or
click start control panel internet options you will see a home page box To Create Page Tabs type

each adress on its own line (type in MSN.com) or you preferred home page and browser
below that will be change search defaults click on settings you will see all search providers you have if dont need any of them you can disable or remove them.


Hope this helps.

Just got windows 7 and there is no spell check for my email (msn.com). Can I do something to enable the dictionary? Thanks so much!

The spell check depends on the Browser you are using not the msn.com or yahoo.com. It's possible that some changes have been made before you got the machine with the browser settings, if it's Internet browser, follow the instructions below:

After it's opened, click "Tools" > "Internet Options" > and then on the "General" tab, click "Language", if there's other languages other than "English (United States) [en-us]", remove them and save only the "English (United States) [en-us]", "Ok" and click "Advanced" tab > "Restore Advanced Settings" > "Apply" > "Ok" and restart the internet browser. If this doesn't help, again go to "Tools" > "Internet Options" > "Advanced" and click "Reset" > "Apply" > "Ok"> and again restart the Internet Explorer.

If there isn't another changes made in the system, this will definitely fix your problem.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Msn connection problem through router

Make sure your internet browser settings are set to default and that you can actually get to other sites besides msn.com before deciding this is a msn web site issue on your firewall. Also, make sure if you have a software firewall like Norton that you allow and have not inadvertantly blocked msn.com. Add msn.com in your browser settings to the 'safe sites' list in browser settings.
