Unable to Browse Internet

[Guest]

I think this may be simple but I'm not sure. Suddenly I have been unable to
browse the internet. I have connectivity, but something is blocking internet
explore from operating correctly. If I start the computer in "Safe Mode w/
Networking" everything works apporpriatley. Any suggestions????

Do you have a firewall installed?

Most have an option to shutdown Internet activity. If you have
inadvertently checked that option, uncheck.

Hi,
Since you are stating "suddenly", did you do any MS updates? There
is one of the updates that is causing that exact problem. Google for
it. My daughter ran into that problem, and hers was the update.
