Ron,
Is it possible you have XP to automatically install MS updates, and it
installed, today, KB981748? If it did it is likely you cannot access the
Web. Look for it in your IE updates of "Add or Remove Programs" and
uninstall that update, reboot, & I suspect it will get you back on the Web.
I have asked about the problem in the windowsupdate group. I also use
ZoneAlarm. That should not be the problem; ZA would generally ask permission
for a file or process.
