IE7 will not connect, but can recieve email

S

SoDakRah

On my home system (XP Pro and Office XP Pro) my internet displays it can not
connect, however, I can receive email so it must be connected. Something
happened last weekend and Office completely disappeared. I think it was a
teenager “cleaning†up the desktop, but they won’t admit to deleting
anything. I have reinstalled XP, MS Office XP and even downloaded IE7 on
another computer and loaded it on my home computer to no avail. Any ideas
on what to look for will be appreciated. I am going to try FireFox tonight
to see if it is IE7.

Success!!! Thank you.
I did the disk cleanup and ipconfig commands but they did not help.
I did the re-register commands but they did not help.
I cleared the history files, cookies and temporary internet files.
I looked at the add ons and decided to look through these later. There are
over one hundred listed. Teenagers.
I went to the advanced tab and adjusted the check boxes per your
instructions then rebooted and IE7 started up.
Now I will go back and go through the add ons.

Again, thank you for your help.

Glad you get some progress and good luck with the rest.
