Hello Henri....I only wish I could access a website to figure out the
problem. The reason i'm posting here is that the browser does NOT work !

If the cause is some 3rd party software, can you go to Save mode and try to
disable it.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

Did you install any new software recently?

Did you try to restore a previous registry.
At a DOS prompt execute

SCANREG /restore and select a date prior to the start of you problems. You
only have 4 or 5 days.
