Hello,

I have a new computer running Vista Home Premium/IE7 that is not able to
load certain web sites. I posted about this earlier, and someone suggested
that it might be a virus, but the Norton system scan I ran detected nothing,
and the behavior ix unchanged. I am reposting, per this advice.
I can connect normally to many sites--Google, Yahoo!, Wikipedia,
Amazon--but I cannot connect to many others. The hint at the bottom of the
web page changes to "Web site found, waiting for response...", and there it
stays forever. The sites include www.microsoft.com (and sub-pages) and
www.msn.com, so I am tempted to say the sites affected are Microsoft sites,
but I can't imagine why that would be the case. Because only certain sites
are affected, I am guessing that there is some default setup or configuration
for IE7 or Vista that is causing this. Both Vista and IE7 are new to me with
this system.
I am using the same ISP connection to send this email, connected to a
different computer running XP Pro SP4 and IE6. As far as I am aware, the
connection is configured identically on both systems. Because of this, I
don't believe it is an ISP issue. The behavior persists through warm and
cold reboots.

Any advice appreciated,

Phil Coveney

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!

Hi Phil, I have the Wxp SP2 proffessional Edition. Some months ago I had
downloaded the IE 7.0 that was offered by the Messenger system. I used it and
I had no problem. A week ago, the man who repairs the pc told to uninstall IE
7.0 because "I'm not like it". So I did it. Then, yesterday I decided to
install it again. First I downloaded it from Windows Update. It began to do
what you have said but in a different way: I can only load the microsoft.com
sites. I can't access to any other site even Google, Yahoo or Wilkipedia.
It's driving me crazy. But now that I've heard what you've said, I think that
IE 7.0 has big problems and that Microsoft.com should have to do something
about.

Hi Phil,

It seems that Microsoft should get working on a fix, as my situation
is identical to your's. My scenario is the basically the same with the
exception of virus killer I am running McAfee.

Andrew

Hello,

Although I am still at the same point with the ie7 issue for pages
failing, I just downloaded Maxthon browser & all the sites I have been
unable to access I now can.
I will be running this one as my primary browser from now on.

Regards
Andrew

Hmm, Phill I'm also running McAfee. I mean the man who repairs pc has
installed it. I don't understand it well. It seems like work "underground or
background". May be this contribute to the problem. But what it's certain is
that IE 7.0 has a problem or the sites or sth because a lot o people it's
going through what we are.
regards.

hi Andrew, where did you get that brownser?. In my case I can't get nothing
from internet because I'm unable to load the pages. How did you do?

Hi Noemi

I did have access to some pages running Vista & ie7 so was able to go
to www.maxthon.com & d/load the free browser. I am now able to load
pages that I previously was unable to. If you can get a d/load of this
exe & install the small application on your pc, may be worth a try.
I am able to run both ie7 & Maxthon simultaniously however I have put
ie7 off to the side as I am finding faster browsing from Maxthin
browser.

Regards
Andrew
