IE7 Does not work but messenger and all other internet related programs work

[WtfAdventure]

I am currently on my desktop computer posting this.

Recently, on my laptop which is a toshiba vista, my mozilla firefox stopped
working, i dismissed the issue because i was "o what ever i always use internet explorer anyways" and soon enough my internet explorer stopped working

i get error messages such as page cannot be displayed and that it thinks i typed the link wrong

i cleared my dns cache and i have reset my firewall, disabled most scan programs restarted them and i scanned my computer fully

all other programs that use the internet work, such as messenger and some games

finally, i system restored my computer before a windows update and my internet worked fine, however i cannot do this forever because my computer automatically updates itself and i would have to system restore my laptop everyday to get internet



*sad fase* help..
