Hello,
I've got a problem: Internet Explorer 7 b3 (and b2) no longer connects to the internet.
It means that it stands with its tab open, displaying connecting... for an indefinite period of time.
My Internet configuration should be right because Mozilla and Opera both have no problems.
I've tried the following:
- spyware checking, in safe mode too
- virus checking
- uninstall the 7b3, but the 6 does not work too
- reinstalling the SP2
- deleting all files manually, in safe mode, and then reinstalling IE7

I'm using a web application that works only with Internet Explorer (no browser masking works), so I need it.
Maybe it is a consequence of a strange phenomena that happened yesterday (20 windows suddenly appeared in such a mosaic structure, like a spyware attack). Or maybe it is some service I've stopped after the attack.

What could it be?
Thank you
Enrico


[EDIT] please don't tell me to do a system restore... because it is disabled

After a whole day of boring attempts... the problem is solved.

DO NOT INSTALL ANY PLUGIN (like freshdownload or winhttrack) because they will hang the Explorer.
Didnt' find it before because I trusted the option "do not run plugins"

Well glad u fixed it. But that's a general rule when using IE. Don't really trust it. I only use it when I'm getting the windows updates. Other than that though, FF all the way.
