Vista/Internet explorer connection help

Hi all,

Just wondered if anybody can give me some advice on a problem I'm having with my laptop at the moment.

A few days ago, the internet connection in our area went down, and after some repair work from the ISP, finally came back up again. However, since then, I have been unable to connect to the internet through internet explorer, access my emails or connect to iTunes. I can however still connect to Safari? All my connections show as no problems, and I have no error messages showing. Not really a computer genius, so any help would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Hi, hollandphil, and welcome to the forums.

Try performing an Internet Explorer - Reset and see if that helps. Also, see if iTunes has updated itself recently, because a lot of people are having issues with the latest iTunes and Vista.

Thanks Johngalt

I've tried to reset IE, and have also disabled all add ons, and all to no avail. I spoke to a guy at work about the problem and he said sometimes it can be the spyware that causes the problem. I've disabled that also to see if that helps but still no joy.
