Again, blocked sites

[Guest]

The combination of Vista and IE7 have conspired to keep me from sites that
even the security monitors list as not dangerous or infected or anything
else. By allowing/enabling anything with Active X in the line and downloading
Shockwave (for a game), I got things working for one day. The next day, I was
back to being shut out. I need the kind of help and explanation you would
give to your mother--but don't tell me to give up the computer. Sites blocked
include Yahoo Mail and athletic sites with 'cstv' in the address. I've tried
putting both in allowed sites list; there is nothing in restricted sites
list. I've put my security at barely existent. My laptop, running off a
wireless router, has XP and who knows which IE. It opens everything I want
opened. Any suggestions that I'll be able to follow?

Launch Internet Explorer and from the Toolbar select:
Tools > Internet Options > Security.
Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode" and click on
"Reset all zones to default level" and click Apply.
Go back and place a check next to "Enable Protected Mode"
and click OK, then relaunch Internet Explorer.

That's where I would go.
