running win xphome
IE7
Had Norton Internet security 2007 on but have removed because I thought this
was part of the problem

The error I recieve when clicking icon:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

More information

When I try and diagnose if I close the opened page my connection is
made...once i click the home page I am online and running....if I close and
try to re-open using the shorcut on task bar or icon on desktop it doesn't
connect....

I have scanned for malware, spyware, and Hijack issues,,,,have reinstalled
windows , uninstalled and reinstalled IE7 (by the way IE6 acts exactly the
same once Ie 7 is uninstalled) prior reinstall I cleared out all temp files
in windows as well as clearing all internet temp files. all cookies deleted,
and reset all options in internet options to default. I am at a loss....if I
try and use an online game that uses IE to access internet it doesn't work.
I am able to access internet when clicking some links in e-mails....and once
I am online...everything funcytions as if nothing is wrong....as soon as i
close that window..back to same problem...

any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, Brian

I have just successfully re-installed this update with many thanks to Joe at

http://itsvista.com

In short what I have done is uninstall KB933566 then disconnect my computer
from the internet
disable my anti-virus completely than re-installed KB933566
after restarting made sure my anti-virus was turned back on again then
reconnected to the internet
this seems to of solved the problem hope it works for you
