Resolved IE will not go beyond Google

This is for a friend,
when he opens IE it goes to Google, that is his homepage.

Then he types in the search box lets say LA ZOO.
it will give him several links to purchase tickets or opening hours and all kinds of other stuff.
the problem is: what ever link he clicks on, nothing happens. no error, no nothing.

I seem to remember that there was a way to re-initialize certain functions, but can not remember them.
I once had a problem with the S in HTTPS and had to do that.

anyone know the proper commands?
Thanks
Sven

PS he has win7

 

Hi SVEN, have you checked in Internet Options > Browsing > to see if it is enabled?

 

no, I have not because I was not at his computer, he just told me what was /was not happening.
I will pass it along and ask him to check it
Thanks

Do you mean: Internet option> Advanced> Browsing?

If yes, what specific option needs to be checked?

 

He should try another browser too to make sure it not something other than IE.

There is also an Autofix from MS but it doesn't always fix this problem.

 

Thanks, I pass it along
