Internet explorer does not want to work! :(

[maltenrazer]

ok, i have successfully installed a unattended Windows XP SP2 installation.

I created an unattended installation CD because i wanted the windows installation in one small partition by its self, and Documents and settings & Programs files in another separate partition by themselves.

C drive is where windows lives...

D drive is a extra hard drive to store stuff...

E drive is where program files, document and settings live....

Everything works fine..its perfect.....well almost perfect....

IE is what is bugging me.

At first internet explorer worked fine, no problems at all. then all of a sudden it decided it didn't want to load any web pages. its as if IE cant connect to the net, everything else can, it ain't blocked by my fire wall either.

When i open IE it just sits there as if it was trying to load something, the screen is just blank and the little windows icon at the top right is moving which i think it indicates that it is loading... that is all it does... when try to go to any web page it does exactly the same.

here is a screen shot:

Internet options:

i have tried everything i can think of... reinstall.. uninstall... install IE 7 beta.... sfc /scannow... to no avail..

what i do know is this.... IE has not been hijacked or anything cus iv checked with the program hijackthis..

try setting your homepage. on the forth pic down, it shows your internet options, and your homepage is not set. that might work.

clint

[maltenrazer]

i typed in www.google.co.uk then clicked "use current" and it gets replaced by "res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdoclc.dll/navcancl.htm" ... any idea wot this maybe?

[blinkdt]

Is this behavior occuring on a fresh Windows XP install? Or is it happening on a machine where IE7 beta has been installed and uninstalled? There is a simple reg tweak fix for that behavior if the later (IE shows a white screen when selecting a favorite link, for example) but I will be damned if I can relocate it, sorry. It is documented by Microsoft

At first internet explorer worked fine, no problems at all. then all of a sudden it decided it didn't want to load any web pages

I'm guessing that's about the time you began to fiddle with IE7 beta?

"use current" adds the page you are in the time you have press it as homepage

to set the homepage you have to type the address as you did and then click ok on the bottom...

[xpmaniac4ever]

Spyware maybe ?

[exrcizn]

InViSibLe Gr is right - enter your start page but don't click Use Current. However, I doubt this will fix your problem if you can't get to any website by typing the address.

Sounds like spyware to me.
