I am having a really annoying PC problem.
Windows XP SP3 with IE8 all was working fine. For no apparent reason IE8 has lost access to the internet. You open the application and all it says is connecting. It never actually manages it.
Outlook Express is working fine, if I install Firefox and Chrome they work fine. I have removed IE8 and gone back to IE6, that works fine. Tried installing IE7 - same result as IE8.
Googling suggests doing a reset from within IE8 - no joy. I have also tried starting IE8 with no add-ons - no joy. I have also tried a winsock and TCP/IP fix I found - no joy.
PC scans clean with MS security essentials and SuperAntiSpyware.
I don't really want to do a re-install, does anyone have any other suggestions?
Cheers
Ian
