Been asked to look at my wife's boss's mothers computer. 2004 Dell Dimension 2350 w/ XP on it. Not pro, just home. Problem started about 4 months ago that when she loads IE7, it will say 'Connecting' on the tab, but no activity ever comes of it. No 'waiting... looking up...' or anything on the status bar, just blank.
I went in, cleared out temp files, cookies, the usual suspects, nothing. Updated to SP3 , nothing. Same deal.
I see I cannot uninstall IE7 from programs, and remove components simply deletes the IE icons, so that's not going to work.
as mentioned, ping, tracert, that sort of cmd line thing works fine. Valid IP, roundtrip times latency is normal.
I'm not sure where to hit it from now, but cannot admit defeat and force a reinstall, as she has her computer 'set up just how she wants it' so I'm not going to suggest that until there is NOTHING else can be done.
Thoughts, comments ?
