IE dont work !

raycorfe · 03-19-2009, 04:05 AM

Internet Explorer 7
Vista Home Basic

Whenever I try to use IE it wont connect to the internet (I can use Firefox with no problems) - I have attached a screenshot of the error window.

I have tried the following to cure the problem but all to no avail:-
- ensured that I have applied all current Windows updates
- ran Registry Mechanic to fix any registry problems
- upgraded to IE 8 to see if that would work but same problems

Any suggestions would be gratefully received...

Hi Mathewforo,
I get the error as soon as I open IE so I dont see any website at all.

tell a little about your computer...cpu, ram, harddrive and free space on the drive? Also what video card.

try opening it up in safemode...

Another thing you can try is opening up IE with no add ons.

Try Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>IE no add ons hope this helps.

Thanks SOBEIT and MikenandezNST for your help.
The suggestion from MikenandezNST to start IE with No Addons worked - I have disabled most of the addons and will now slowly add them until I find the culprit !!
Once again thanks to all who tried to help me....

Just a quick update - the add on culprit that caused the problem was AVG SAFE SEARCH...
