Hello,

What OS are you running? Windows XP or Windows Vista? What version of IE do you have? IE6 or IE7? IE7 would be the only one available on Vista.

Hello,

Can you access the web for email and other things? Is it just IE that is causing you problems?

Hello,

That doesnt help. If the issue is isolated to IE you would be able to conenct with a Instant Messanger or EMail application. Without knowing if you can connect with Firefox or some other software we can not say if it is just a IE issue or not.

Hello,

I just needed to know if you could connect. Now that i see it is fully related to IE i can help you along.

Go into your Start Menu. Look for a option in there for Internet Explorer No Add-ons. See if IE works then. If So one of your add ons is corrupting IE. Which is not uncommon.

From here go Tools>Manage Add-ons. Disable them all. Now restart IE. It should start up normally now. From here enalbe your Add-ons 1 by 1 to see which one is the problem causer and then go back into the IE No Add-ons and remove it completely. This will allow you to use IE without any issues from now on.

Let me know how it works out.

Cheers,
Mak
