| | HTTP 403 Forbidden Running Office Standard 2007 on Vista Home Basic. Until August 15 I had no trouble reaching IE. It's Version 7, I think, but the error prevents me from confirming. Then I installed Vista Service Pack 1 with IIS Diagnostic Toolkit January 2006 (x86). Now when I try to launch IE from my desktop or taskbar I get the error message "HTTP 403 Forbidden." The explanation is that though the server could be reached my login was rejected. No reason why is offered. Login for IE? as of August 15? My email and Favorites work, and I can Google from any Favorite Web site. Also I am four users on this computer, and only my default user has this problem. I don't find the IIS Diagnostic Toolkit user friendly. Fix, anyone? |

Fix, anyone? It sounds like something changed your Internet Explorer Home page when u made those changes. In internet explorer, click Tools and goto Internet Options in homepage, type in www.google.com (or whatever u want) click apply, then ok then exit internet explorer, and load it from desktop like normal.
