Another IE problem - this one more challenging!!

I've got another problem with Internet Explorer
I am trying to open web pages on my laptop, Vista Home Premium operated, but cant seem to; i get a "Page Unavailable Offline" screen, although I can use Windows Live Messenger and just about any other program that uses the internet connection
Even the Vista network diagnosis detects that im connected to the internet
When i click on Diagnose Problem i get a "No problem detected" message
can anyone help??
I have also tried to run IE without addons ( the option in the Internet Options)
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeez help me ppl

 

ae13 - On the menu bar in IE, under "File ", make sure "Work Offline" is not checked. May be too simple a solution for your problem, but I am better at these types of solutions.

 

thanX virginia,
but u said it
it was the first thing i checked for
i even restored all security settings everything!!

 

Hello ae13,

See if anything in this IE7 touble shooting guide is of help: How to troubleshoot Internet Explorer 7 issues in Windows Vista http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=936215

Under More Info: You experience unexpected behavior in Internet Explorer - this certainly qualifies

 

thanX charlesvar,
i checked it out but its not useful at all...
or it doesnt have a solution to what i have described
NEwayz thanX m8

 

"Unexpected behavior" would cover your problem Did you follow the link in the KB document to this KB:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936213/ and did you try clearing IE's cached data?

 

thanX for your endless help charlesvar
the problem seems to be corrupted IE7 files??
don ask me about the cause but when i ran the recovery CD, everything went back to normal
thats weird, isnt it??
NEwayz...
i do appreciate your help
thanX alot bro
