Just another data point which may help others -- all my McAfee settings are
(and have been) exactly as venus365 describes. Still -- IE7 doesn't load
pages, but Firefox does. The primary differences between my 2 XP machines
that load perfectly and my Vista machine that doesn't are: the XP machines
have Norton rather than McAfee; and the IE7 versions are slightly different,
as described before. The most apparent IE7 difference is the "enable
protected mode" checkbox in the Vista IE7 version under internet
options/security, but turning that on and off had no effect. Intution says it
may have something to do with McAfee, but there are so many changes between
IE7 versions, that IE7 is also suspicious.
