Some things you can try:

IEFix -- http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm

WinSockXPFix -- http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4372.html

Try another browser to help determine if the problem is with IE or not. You can get Firefox from here:

Thanks for the help...i tried both IEFix and WinSockXPFix but had no success...i also already downloaded firefox and it works fine so it must be a problem of internet explorer

Try a reinstall of IE:

Close IE and go to Start > Run and run the following commands one after the other, each line followed by 'enter':

regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 comcat.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 Msjava.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll

Run each line individually. After each run, you should see a short message stating the command was successful. Reboot.

Trying to follow the thread....I too have I.E (v.7) that will not open a website. I get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Another computer on my wireless home network is fine.

I did the "regsvr32 ***" as suggested below and all entries worked except one.

When I tried to run "Mshtml.dll" I got the message saying "RegSvr 32...mshtml.dll was loaded but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. The file can not be registered".

I have no idea where to go next. This started when I tried to uninstall McAfee antivirus/firewall, and install AVG for both. At present i have uninstalled both AVG and McAfee trying to get I.E. to work.

Ideas??

Thanks,

Have you tried to do a SYSTEM RESTORE to before you uninstalled Mcafee?

If that works,you can use REGSEEKER to clean up your registry of the Mcafee stuff (Since doing a restore will put it all back in the reg (Most of it)) and then reinstall AVG (Since its keys will be gone)

Good luck!

I had my fingers crossed, but I just tried to restore to every available date indicated, none worked.

Me too! But I took a couple days off and hit the problem again today. I plugged an ethernet cable from the router directly into the problem laptop. Bingo....when I clicked on Internet Explorer a page came up to download I.E. v7. I was running that before, but thought...maybe something is new or different. I downloaded v. 7, and tried to "Restore" again...it worked perfectly! You were right, it should have worked. there must have been some connection to IE v.7.

What started this was my attempt to get rid of "jaymyka.wen9.com" virus. McAfee didn't catch it or deal with it. That's why I was uninstalling McAfee and going to try AVG.

Now I'm nervous about doing ANYthing! :-)
