I'm using Vista Home Premium edition.

After last automatic upgrade my IE was not able to connect to the internet.
Troubleshooter returned the following message:

The fololowing policy might need to be adjusted to allow Windows to connect:
Policy Provider: -
Filter Name: VSWFP_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_CONNECT_V4

I'm using Windows Firewall.

The strange thing is that AOL easily connecting to the web, and neither IE
nor Firefox can NOT.

Help please.

Thank you in advance,
LM
 
Type gpedit.msc in the start button or use the windows key + r and type in
gpedit.msc.
There are various components such as diskmgmt.msc that run in the "Microsoft
Management Console.
From MMC help:
"Microsoft Management Console (MMC) hosts administrative tools that you can
use to administer networks, computers, services, and other system
components. "

The problem is that the OP has Vista Home Premium and just like XP Home,
gpedit.msc and MMC are not available in that version of Vista.

To the OP: Check in the Windows Update newsgroup for fixes for your issue.

Try this...
Do one of the following:

• Click Start, click Run, type mmc, and then click OK.

• At the command prompt, type mmc, and then press ENTER.

Now click Open on the File menu.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32 (or wherever your windows directory is
located.
You should see various .msc files you can open.
gpedit.msc should be one of them.

No, the OP won't find gpedit in Vista Home Basic or Premium.

At last I've got there and found mmc.exe. Do you want me add snap-ins now
(which ones) and then somehow configure them?
 
So, what do I do to make IE connect to the web? As I said earlier AOL getting
connected but neither IE nor Firefox can
 
Ok so I downloaded SP1 for Vista and went to install it. Three
windows appeared, the topmost of which has a button labeled
"install" or some such thing. I clicked on the button and nothing
seemed to happen (but Vista has a habit of looking like it is doing
nothing when it is actually doing something) so I went about doing
"housekeeping" in the form of closing whatever programs I had
opened while navigating to the aforementioned service pack.

I eventually arrived at the bottommost window to find a message
stating "what you should know before installing SP1" or some such
thing. It seemed funny that Vista would place a *before* window
two windows deep - but Vista also seems to have a habit of not
doing the expected thing. I perused the informational window to
my satisfaction (apparently it is best to install updated drivers from
the manufacturer before installing SP1) and clicked "next" or some
such thing.

Then, I arrived at the middlemost window. This was the "end user
license agreement" or some such thing. It seemed funny to me that
Vista would place this underneath the 'install' window but Vista...

Back at the former uppermost (now onlymost) window, I click the
install button and successfully installed SP1.

Huh?
