IE7 runounce is not working. Is there a way to avoid it

[Guest]

When I try to open IE 7 it searches for a while at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=74005 and then fails. I run the test
and the connection shows fine. Sincehtis is a runonce thing it is going to
keep failing everytime I open this wonderful looking new browser. It takes a
while to fail to so it is really annoying. I may have to go back to IE 6.

Internet Connection Settings--If you notice a problem connecting to
websites, it might be because the upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 changed
your Internet connection settings from what they were set at in Internet
Explorer 6. To work around the problem, follow these steps:

Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet
Options.
Click the Connections tab.
Click the first entry in the Dialup and Virtual Private Networks list,
and then click Settings.
Select the Automatically detect settings check box, and then click OK.
Repeat the previous two steps for each entry in the Dialup and Virtual
Private Networks list.
Click the Lan Settings button in the Connections tab, and repeat steps
4-6. Click OK on the Connections tab.
Close Internet Explorer, and then restart it.

I had the same problem as you but this is what I got

After going to Tools/Internet Options/Delete Browsing History/Temporary
Internet Files. Choose Delete files, then go to Cookies and Delete cookies.
After doing this, close the browser and reopen. It should run OK
