take it you've tried anti malware software?
or registry cleaner?
is "work offline" checked or unchecked?
found this as well mate

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 (KB944533)"
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.

i've exhausted my google now mate. see the sort of stuff i do for you?

Off-Topic but why not try IE 8.0 Beta?

[thered]

cheers m8y il give these a try maybe tommorow though cos im goosed this working carry on is no good

[thered]

tried as you suggested m8 and i think the problem is something to do with the windows updates as looking through my windows update history there seems to be a quite few that have failed


the update you mention in your previuos post is not there to uninstall so i cant complete the above sequence but i have tried some other similar on the net all to no avail it still just will not connect


btw i have tried the ie 8 beta 2 too

i would change your browser to firefox or opera, internet explorer is unstable at the best of times.
