I am using XP Home with SP2. I installed IE7 a long time ago and it was great until jut a few days ago. All of a sudden I cannot get to any webpages at all, I just get an error message "Address not found." I also have AOL and I tried that and had the same problem. They had me rebuild the adapter and run webutil. That helped and I can access webpages through AOL, but not IE7. I am NOT very computer tech savvy, so any help needs to be somewhat basic. I have deleted temp files, etc., defraged and all that stuff recently. Thanks!!!

Hi,

In URL in IE7 would you enter http://66.249.93.104 and tell us what you get please.

If it works you will get a well known web site.

Have you tried a system restore to when it was working? (That sometimes fixs many things)

Otherwise,under the file menu of IE,make sure "Work offline" is not checked....

Good luck -- Welcome to our site :)

That didn't work, I get the IE cannot display the webpage message. I do not have work offline checked. I have NOT done a system restore. Both IE and AOL stopped accessing webpages on 12/30. On the same date, Microsoft updates were installed. I don't know if one of them might have corrupted something.

This sounds like something changed the settings on how IE connects to your ISP.

Sounds like this has caused the problems.

I would ring AOL and ask them for a fix. You may also find that there is now a windows update to fix the fix..
