IE wont load pages, but firefox works???

[htcs]

I hope someone can help me out.

I can't open any sites in IE. However, Firefox just without a hitch. All other programs can access the Internet too. I did the basics like running the network wizard, yada yada yada. Checked the Hosts file, clean. Ran spyware/adware removal apps (found none... since Firefox rocks!). No virus'. Turned off firewall. Am I missing something here perhaps?

Here's what i got:
- Win XP SP2
I think i've got all the updates - but can't check since IE wont open.
- D-Link ethernet card, going through SMC router to Cable Modem.

if there's anything else you need to know, just ask

Any suggestions would really be great!

Thanks

Tom

If its still not working try to reset all IE settings back to default.

This can sometimes also be related to spyware. I usually use Hijack this! to delete the entry and it works.
