IE 7 can't find any web pages . . .

I upgraded to IE 7.0.5730.11 and now I can't get any web pages to
load, *including* Windows Update to see if there is a fix.

I get the standard "Internet Explorer Cannot display the webpage."

I've run all the connection wizards I can find through the error
message and through control panel and they all say my internet
connection is fine (I'm writing this though Firefox).

What's up?

You are welcome Jim, I agree with you but Techno is so fast and there is a
new technology out every day we hardly can get a glimpse of it never mind
how to work it out. LOL.
Good luck.

Actually, there are some programs that do a great job of program
updates, including non-Microsoft ones. None free that I know of though.
