Browser won't open any page. Email OK

[Paul Howard]

Running xp home and msie6. Can connect to inet via dialup ok. Can get
email via outlook express ok. CAN NOT Browse anything. No page will open
(Page Not found).

I'm betting this is a cache thing.

Thanks

Paul,
For XP, many people are recommending WinsockXPFix from
http://members.shaw.ca/techcd/WinsockXPFix.exe to repair winsock settings.
It's 1.34 MB- fits on a floppy disk. LSPFIX from
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm may also work. It's much smaller at 180 KB.
You might be able to download either by pasting the URL into the address bar
of Windows Explorer. If not, use another machine.

If this gets IE up and running, check for the malware which may have caused
this problem.

If this doesn't fix things for you, post back to this thread.
