Reply With QuoteHave a look in the Connections settings tab of the Internet options for IE. Make sure you don't have a proxy server enabled (unless you need to) and in the advanced tab check auto-detect settings.
May not work but only thing I can think of.

Supporterheres a curly one for ya - I recently upgraded to IE7 - only because microsoft told me to ( i know i should turn auto upgrades off)
for the last week of so when i open ie7 it just comes up with "Internet explorer cannot open page' no matter what page you open.
Now i have gone to MS site using mozilla - but beacuse im not there using IE it wont let me upgrade the program, .... insert never ending circle here
I have removed and re installed ie7 to no avail and when i took it off what was left - i had ie6 before ie 7 didnt work either.
what do i do

Just install Firefox 2.something. Oh, and switch MS updates to notify only, that way you can choose only the most important security updates, and NEVER let MS install the Genuine Advantage garbage on your machine.
You own it man, not MS, drive it your way.
Just for a fright, Google "zdnet.com" and register for their security bulletins, you might even want to try Linux, after reading some of the security problems IE7, Office 07, and yes, even Vista have. Linux user group meets at Crafers.
If you have a Cisco, Dlink, (and a couple of others where on the list) router for your broadband, change the admin password now, right now. In the last week they have been hacked via a slack password security regime.
bho is "browser helper object" for IE. Sometimes OK, sometimes bad. CoolWebSearch or CWS, is a bad example, a browser hijacker.
isp is your "internet service provider"?

you may need to hold off on firefox for a week or two, there is "educated speculation" that there is a very nasty little naughty thing affecting this browser on ALL platforms.Originally Posted by shorty943
going on past history it will be two to three weeks till the truth be known...

the bho is as shorty said...Incisor - what is a bho and an lsp?
the lsp is not an I it is an l... they attach themselves to the network protocol stack and are used for good and evil, there is a util called lspfix.exe out there that will fix any problems you may have in the area. NEVER use the advanced features of this util, let it do the talking....

I meant the computer scisor. I know Bill own's the OS. And he kindly lets us "borrow" a copy under lawyers control. I've read the EULA as well. And I don't like the part that says MS refuses to guarantee the product will work for you. The Linux EULA reads similarly, I know, but at least it is freely available.
No, I simply meant the computer is ours, not the OS.
LSP. Not ISP. Got it, my mistake, sorry. I'll just clean my glasses,----
Is that any better?
