Thanks for the info, I should have said, I have tried these and it still
does not work.

It did not work before I did a Windows update, so I ran the update and it
still does not work, someone mentioned to me that the update of Microsoft
..NEt 1.1 may have caused it, as it was one of the patched I ran, but it did
not work before I patched it.

I have no idea how to fix this.

I have also ran a sfc /scannow on IE, I have not uninstalled IE yet.

If you have nay ideas I would appreciate.

Thanks

Lloyd

In fact it does get to the web-site, but it takes a few minutes to resolve
the web-site address.

I have ran a symantec scan for viruses and spyware/adaware, i have ran a
chek for malware and parasites and nothing has shown up.

I am stumpted!

I'm not sure what anti-spyware tools you have run.
What You Should Know About Spyware
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/devioussoftware.mspx

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of these programs ,
download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

See
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
