I downloaded IE7, can't connect, run wizard, says ports 80, 443, and 20 are
blocked, I check the firewall, they aren't. I cn use other computers on the
wireless network but the desktop will not connect to the internet.

You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest that
you..,

1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html

2. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds).

3. Reinstall IE7 per http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install,
and using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

What about specifically allowing iexplore.exe?
E.g. your firewall might be detecting that the old module has changed its
properties and inhibiting outbound transmissions from an unapproved module.

Good luck
