Hello All! I work for a school district and I am having trouble with one Vista Machine. This is only one of two Vista machines in the entire district. The problem is that using IE7 we can not connect to webmail (gmail) provided by our ISP. We just recently transfered over to gmail and had no problems with email prior to it. All other staff in the district can connect and use email with no problems. On the Vista machine I can connect using a different browser, no problems. I have tried resetting all settings in IE7 to the defaults. I have tried compareing the settings with the other Vista machine that does work. I have tried running in safe mode with networking, running without add-ons, smashing it with a hammer(not really), nothing works. Any ideas?

How to optimize or reset Internet Explorer 7

Try this old alternative gmail link:

Bookmark http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1 or change the language to English(UK) in the settings

Yes it is up to date except for one security update that had to be removed because it was completely blocking IE7. I will try the rest and get back to you.
