Just today IE 8 would no longer open the home page (or any other website).

I

removed IE 8 and went back to IE 7 and problem is the same.

(Also using Outlook (which works fine) when clicking on a hyperlink to a

web

address then Outlook hangs too)

I've tried resetting the internet options, also restoring system to

earlier

in the week, but all make no difference.

Lastly I'm using XP.

Advice eagerly welcomed!

I've had similar problems with my system so I read this thread and then
looked in the link you provided regarding troubleshooting IE (Tips for
solving problems with IE708). The only problem is the link has bogus
information because inside of Control panel when you do a search on
`Troubleshooter' Windows has nothing like that. Just thought you should
know. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't think so .

Here's a portion of what's inside the link: `Open the Internet Explorer
Performance troubleshooter by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start
button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type
troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting. Click View all, and then
click Internet Explorer Performance'.

Typing `troubleshooter' reveals exactly nothing...Paul C.

Bogus information?
Did you notice that the site pertains to the "Windows 7" Operating System
and not Windows Vista Home Premium?

The other 4 troubleshooting items on that site would pertain to IE8 and your
operating System.

Please begin a new thread describing your issues.

Good luck,
