Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / February 2008IE7 no longer accepts web addresses for me
after installing a Windows Update last night, I am no longer able to get online. No matter what Internet address I type, the browser tells me either it is a bad address or can't get online. THe network connection is running fine, according to all the information I can gather. I am running Vista on a laptop, and I downloaded 9 updates last night. Information on one of them is at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkID=105692. I am running IE 7. I have the same problem. Running WinXP SP2 and IE7. Deinstallation of updates does not help. Please begin a new thread about /your/ problem.

It is already one more thread about this issue, how many they should be in order that MS started to worry about? I do believe it's not /my/ problem, but rather a problem of MS, isn't it? > Please begin a new thread about /your/ problem. > > I have the same problem. > > Running WinXP SP2 and IE7. > > Deinstallation of updates does not help. > Please begin a new thread about /your/ problem. Every time iexplore.exe gets updated... When will users learn to use their third-party firewalls and security packages? Or manufacturers of them make it more obvious what they are doing? ; ] --- >> I have the same problem. >> Running WinXP SP2 and IE7. >> Deinstallation of updates does not help. > Every time iexplore.exe gets updated... > > When will users learn to use their third-party firewalls and security packages? > Or manufacturers of them make it more obvious what they are doing? > > ; ] I use geniune Windows farewall and deactivate antivirus as it was suggested above. I have to admit also that this problem happened at my notebook as well. As far as nothing like this happens after Firefox updates, I would redirect those irony more to the direction of IE. [Crossposted to Windows Update newsgroup] Error message after you install a Windows Internet Explorer 7 update from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "Webpage cannot be displayed": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942818 If tweaking your third-party firewall's settings don't help, try the following: 1. Disable your anti-virus application, any real-time protection provided by an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender; includes Spybot Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable any third-party firewall AND enable the Windows Firewall. NB: You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else online (e.g., browsing; reading email; chatting) except #4 below until your anti-virus application has been re-enabled! If you're running ZA Free firewall, you may need to uninstall it instead of disabling it. 2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB942615)" via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right) and reboot. 3. Re-do #1 above. 4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates offered. If "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional Updates category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's additional security. 5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable your third-party firewall.
