IE does not connect, but Outlook, Firefox and Google Chrome work f

  • Follow


I am at a loss to find a solution to this problem.  I cannot get online with 
IE7 or IE8.  Firefox works fine along with most other programs that require 
internet access.  I have tried uninstalling IE, using a different version, 
deleting all add-ons and cookies, resetting default settings.  I've scanned 
the computer using a couple different virus scanners and scanned using the 
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.  Nothing has worked.

Any suggestions?

   • Which version of the Windows operating system am I running?
      http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/which-version-of-the-windows-operating-system-am-i-running

   • Is my PC running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows?
      http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2; 
Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2) as well as your current IE version (e.g., IE6, 
IE7, IE8) when posting in an IE-specific forum or newsgroup. Please do so in 
your next reply.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your 
subscription current?  What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? 
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this 
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought 
it)?

Hey, HoopleHead, if you have the answer, give it. Based upon the 
non-information from the OP. Otherwise, go back into your hole.

No but I'm having the same issues so I wonder if you use AVG?
Do you have multiple users on your system with others beside the current user still logged on?

I did use AVG, but replaced it with Microsoft Security Essentials.  I only 
have one user on my system as well.

This happened to me on Windows 7, MS Support tried a load of things
such as unintalling and re-installing IE but what worked for me was
this:

netsh winsock reset

....which I found eventually through Google.

I didn't (and still don't) use IE that much, but it was really
frustrating whilst it lasted so I hope this trick or something else
will soon fix you up.

Thanks. I'm trying to find some common cause.  I also am running XP SP3 and
also have no problem with Firefox or even IE7.  Please post here if you find
a solution.
