My internet explorer opens, but not to my home page - just a blank screen. When I type in a web address, i.e google and hit enter, nothing happens. Connection is fine, so must be a problem with explorer.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

You might have this problem:

"Use a proxy server for your LAN" has been checked (tools>internet options>(connections)>(LAN settings). Unchecking that box solves the problem.

You might also try this:
In Windows 7 you can reset your IP by clicking on START then open ACCESSORIES then first right click on COMMAND PROMPT and then select in the drop down menu by your pointer arrow "Run As Administrator" else this won't work. Then open COMMAND PROMPT and type this inside exactly as here:

netsh int ip reset c:reset log.txt

You will then need to reset your computer and the job is done.

If all else fails, try the following:

'Start', 'Run' regsvr32 jscript.dll <return>
Note: you should get a little window pop-up saying "successful"
then -
"Start', 'Run' regsver32 vbscript.dll <return>
Note: another little window pop-up hopefully saying "successful"

Reboot computer - trying IE8 again.

Please report back if any of the above help.
