Internet Explorer Problem

[Kafros]

Hi,for about 2 days nows I've had problems with internet explorer.There are certain websites that I cannot open with explorer,www.yahoo.com being one of them.At first I thought that the sites were being updated or something but it's been 2 days now and I cant even check my email at yahoo.Any help will be appreciated.

Are you running any sort of popup stopper, maybe one that you can enter the url's of certain sites etc?

No,I had Pop-up Killer installed but I unistalled it.But I think that Pop-up Killer would simply terminate the ie window,not disallow access to the site.The only thing I remember doing before this problem started was installin Ad-Aware and deleting all spy ware from my pc.Could this be the cause of all this?

I think ad aware has a restore function for the registry. Use it & see if the problem goes away.

Have you checked you have whatever connection you use set to the default, under connections in Internet properties?

I had same problem, and found somehow my connections was et to use non, once I switchd it to my normal dialup, it all worked ok after a reboot.

Stuy_b,my connection is the default connection,I even tried cancelling it from default and making the default again.No luck I am afraid.

I finally solved my problem ! I tried to update windows but the page wouldnt load,so i tried refreshing for about 1 minute or so and the page loaded,I was then prompted to install a mircrosoft protocol or something like that (I never pay too much attention to those pop-up screens )checked for updates,there weren't any and from then on everything is ok .I am still not sure as to what caused all this but now its fixed i am happy.Big thanx to everyone that tried to help.
