IE Opens but I cannot brows the net. I have tried to reset IE - no luck. this is the same for both my wireless and hardwire connections.

Please update your system specs. The link is in my signature. Also, did you do an in-place upgrade, or did you do a clean install?

Make sure your firewall and/or antivirus are not blocking IE from the Internet.

Now, actually update your specs, per the link in my signature. Also, be more specific. There are quite a few Viao laptops out there.

What did you upgrade from? Vista 32 or 64 bit? What are you running now? 7 32 or 64 bit?

Another thing you could try is removing IE8 and re-adding it by doing the following.

Open Start
Type: Turn fea
Press Enter
Uncheck IE8
Press OK
Restart when asked

To re-install IE8 repeat this method but check IE8 this time. :)

Ok I have updated my system specs as best as I can. I have tryed turning off the automation detection setting and unistalling & reinstalling IE. I am running Win 7 ultimate 32. Any other ideas????
