Lost IE 8 - No access to internet with IE 7.0 - Outlook is working

[Steve]

Weird happening to my wife's computer.



Earlier I had updated Java.



Now, my Outlook 2003 works fine, and I am getting messages, so I am indeedd

accessng the Internet.



However, when I open my IE 7.0, it shows a URL, but nothing on the screen

nor toolbars.



I looked at programs/explorer/and found iexplore.exe. I click iexplore.exe

and nothing happens.



Any suggestions to how I can get my IE 7.0 browser to access the Internet?

WinXP SP2 or SP3, Steve?



>> Earlier I had updated Java



Explain, please (e.g., you installed Sun Java JRE v1.6.0_18).



Is Automatic Updates enabled and was the computer fully-patched at Windows

Update when this problem started?



In Windows Explorer, navigate to and right-click on...



C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE Sorry, my Windows Versions is XP
