IE does not work - Firefox does!

Hi guys,

I have a Windows XP (with SP2) box running Firefox 0.10 (yesterday nightly build). Using a ADSL connection, Firefox is able to open pages from the web
without any problem. But using Internet Explorer, it always get a "cannot open page" error.

I've already run ad-ware and spybot SD and correct all errors they pointed out.
And I've also checked Lan connections (resetting proxy options - like Firefox options).

Here is the Hijack log:

but it always comes back - Using sysinternals regmon (registry monitor) I can see Internet Explorer is the process thar sets it back - is this correct?

AVG 6.0 also doesn't report any virus...
The ping command from the prompt is also working fine - either with a host name (like www.google.com) or with an IP address.

Can someone please tell me what else I could try? Or should I reinstall the whole box?

Thanks in advance!

Go to Internet Options\Connections. Choose settings & uncheck the box for Proxy Server.

Hi, crunchie!

I've done that already - but it was useless. IE still won't work.
I even rebooted the machine after unchecking the proxy server option, but the "funny" thing is that it's always checked again!!!

Thanks anyway - any other suggestions?

IE is tightly integrated into the operating system which means that sometimes reinstalling IE wont even fix the problem and you end up needing to reinstall the entire system from scratch. Other browsers are stand-alone and don't have these problems.

I cannot figure why IE keeps resetting that proxy server to enabled? Have you tried clearing the info in the advanced section of settings under connections? Then uncheck the proxy box. Are you selecting apply after, then ok.?
What proxy did you have? I use proxomitron which uses that port. Maybe you can download it & get IE to work that way.
I'm not full bottle on things like this so don't want to give you a bum steer .
