Hi,
Wininet errors are very often caused by a corrupted cache (Temporary
Internet Files folder.)

Try deleting the Temporary Internet Files folder for the affected user
account. A new folder will be created on restart. Login as another user with
administrator privileges, or from the machine's default administrator
account (startup in safe mode.) Make sure that you can see hidden and system
files (Folder Options> View) Then delete the affected TIF folder from
Windows Explorer. It will be at [C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files] Restart.

Set the size of the cache (TIF folder) to 50-60 MB and clear it
occasionally.
