Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2007Can't view web pages in ie6 or Firefox 2
I had a failed ie7 install the other day. I uninstalled and now I can't load any web pages in ie6 or Firefox 2. I have a good internet connection (email still works), but when I go to google or Yahoo, it just says done on the status bar. What is wrong? How do I fix it? I have XP Pro, SP2 all currently updated. I have been searching for an answer for 4 days to no avail. Thanks, Brian You may want to try re-setting your default browser, but don't just unset and re-set it within the browser you want. Instead, close all browsers, set one of the other browsers as the default, close it and then re-set it on the one you actually prefer. Also, have you tried using Opera? Just a suggestion. For me, it works much faster (and better in so many other ways). Unfortunately, some sites require IE. > I had a failed ie7 install the other day.

There must be something in xp that got screwed up when I had the failed IE7 install. The connection checks out fine. The page looks like it will load (takes some time), but then nothing appears.

It loads ok, I have a link to a news site, and when I click on it, nothing happens. Why can I load the personal site, but not any others? I am really lost for a solution. Brian Do you have a firewall or other security software that may be blocking access? Norton or McAfee security suite? Zone Alarm? If so, disable them & check. Malware can cause issues as well. I would run a scan in safe mode, first with my AntiVirus software, then with my antispyware.  SignatureA Professional Amateur...If anyone knew it all, none of would be here!

I tried to reinstall IE7, but it will not install. I have to beleive that the failed IE7 install screwed up something in XP, but I don't know what. What can cause the web pages to not load, even though my connection is fine.
