My Windows 2000 Pro SP4 with IE 6.0 is configured for automatic windows
updates. On September 5, 2006, it prompted me to apply the latest patch
and I clicked yes, then rebooted. I am not sure what the patch was but
might have been MS02-008 (Security Update, February 13, 2002) according
to the Windows Update log file.
After applying that patch my Internet Explorer won't open ANY URL THAT
STARTS WITH HTTP !!! It just sits there displaying the blank page and
the globe in the top right corner keeps spinning infinitely. I checked
everything, this is not a firewall or network issue -- my Firefox
browser works just fine and telnet to various sites on port 80 also
works. I tried unregistering or reinstalling MSXML 4.0 but it did not
make any difference. Programs like Microsoft Money also have difficulty
connecting to the web, I guess because the component that is broken is
shared.
Most incredibly, the IE browser opens HTTPS or FTP URLs just fine!
Please help!
If Windows Defender is installed try turning it off.
