Hi Phil, I'm from Argentina. I have the WXP Proffessional SP 2 and I've just
downloaded IE 7.0. Since then I can't open any page. I can only access to the
microsoft.com sites. I can even access to Google, yahoo or less wilkipedia.
I'm driving myself crazy. As I can see the problem it's IE 7.0 and Microsoft
that is experimenting with us and our time. By the way, I've heard about
people that had bought the Win Vista OS and had to change it for WXP again
because it doesn't work properly. See you!
