# Internet explorer cannot open post-new.php?

 * Hi,
 * I have set up my blog with the newest version and everything was working fine.
   I have installed Lightbox 2 (v. 2.8.2) and tested it today to see if it worked.
 * After I posted with an image everything worked fine. When I have went back to
   add a new post I get the following error message…
 * **Internet explorer cannot open the Internet site [http://www.macmillan-academy.org.uk/staff_blogs/teacher/wp-admin/post-new.php](http://www.macmillan-academy.org.uk/staff_blogs/teacher/wp-admin/post-new.php)**
 * I have tried to edit a post and get the same error message. My blog has been 
   working fine for two months. I since deactivated the Lightbox plugin, but it 
   is still not working.
 * I have also tried copying and pasting another post-new.php file in the admin 
   folder, and still no joy.
 * Has anyone else experienced this? Is it some sort of spam protection to stop 
   too many posts being added at once?
 * Many Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Just an update – I cannot go to add / edit page either. On the right hand side,
   the publish settings have been expanded, which is the only visible difference
   between the normal screen I am used to seeing.
 * Thanks
 * Adrian
