HELP! (IE) - Solved.... Now a new problem!
I don't use very IE often, but when I open it nothing happens I mean nothing, no page will load or even start to load. I've reset defaults, turned off Internet Security etc. WTF! Never had anything like this before. Also, if I switch rendering engine to IE in Firefox, nothing happens.

HTTP, HTTPS, FTP connectivity
info HTTP: Successfully connected to www.microsoft.com.

IE7 says I'm connected :?
I have no idea what the hell is going on but it's annoying

try resetting the winsock - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
also try flushing out the dns with ipconfig /flushdns
thats all i can think of just now, worth a shot.

I don't know what else it could be. I know the reset winsock thing worked for my brother-in-law when he lost browsing capability. Just try googling your symptoms and see if you can find anything.

Sound like what PaulC posted may be the problem.
If running Win XP with SP2 open Command Prompt (Start/All Programs/Accessories) and type netsh winsock reset into the DOS window that appears.
Win XP without SP2 download and run winsockxpfix
Other versions of windows download and run lspfix (you need to have winsock 2 installed if running Win95)

I did it, it asked me to restart, and still no improvement. Very odd. I'll do some more googling.UBT - PaulT wrote:Sound like what PaulC posted may be the problem.

I would make a point of checking all your file types in explorer.DJH@GB-Ro wrote:Oh for God's sake :roll: When I open IE the uk MSN home page loads, but if I click any favourites, it just opens Firefox and laods them there :lol:
And if I type ANY address, it just opens a tab over in Firefox
open up windows explorer -> tools -> file types tab.
and just check to see what you have in there for htm, html, aspx etc
Something may have got corrupt.
