Web pages will not load in ie6 after failed ie7 upgrade

Web pages will not load in ie6 anymore after a failed ie7 upgrade.
Why?

My connection is fine (can ping Yahoo.com just fine), but when I try to
go to yahoo.com in ie6, is just says done, but no page is loaded.

Something must be screwed up in XP, but I don't know what. Any help or
ideas would be great. I still get email, etc, but just can't load web
pages.

I even tried Foxfire, but it does the same thing.

NETSH

Click Start, Run, type:

netsh winsock reset

Press Enter key

Restart the system

You can also try this software download from a working machine:

LSP-Fix

I first tried the Run netsh winsock reset and rebooted - it did not fix
the problem.

I then downloaded and ran the LSP fix. It found no problems.

Still can't view web pages. When I tried to install IE7, I checked to
install malicious software removal tool. Did this possibly remove a
needed file?

I doubt it.. Maybe the IE7 partial install messed with the firewall.
Try turning it off as a test.

I turned off ZA. No change. I did have one success. I got my home
web page to work: http://home.comcast.net/~bgmess/index.html. When I
try to click on the news link though, no page appears.

I don't know why my comcast hosed page works but no other pages work?

Joe,

I went to the link and downloaded the agent file. Unfortunately I
don't have Ie7 installed. When I try to re-install it, it does not
complete the install. I have downloaded a fresh copy and it still does
not work. The file you pointed to is only for IE7.

I can't figure out why IE7 wont' install. Any suggestions on how to
find out why it won't install.

You probably need to go to a System Restore point dated before the
failed IE7 install.

I tried both the Run netsh winsock reset and the LSP fix. LSP fix found no
errors.

Still can't get Ie6 to display web pages.

Any other ideas?
