Sounds like the security settings on your new browser perhaps, or on some security software that won't allow what is probably ActiveX scripts to run.

Just a guess.  I suspect that what you're seeing is something small.

Go here and see if you can run an online scan:

http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

If you can't run a scan from either site, then it's most definitely an ActiveX settings/security issue, perhaps even a software firewall if you have one.

Good luck.

Both of those checks worked fine. I installed spybot search & destroy about a week ago, could that be the problem? If so, how do i fix it?

Thanks.

Try this. We are re-registering the ie dll files that let you access secure websites. also restore IE defaults from the tools tab before proceeding with this

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type the following lines and press ENTER after each line:
regsvr32 softpub.dll 
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

Click OK when you receive the message that DllRegisterServer in FileName succeeded.
Type exit to quit Command Prompt.

Keep us posted

Sorry for being dumb but how do i restore IE defaults from the tools tab?

 I tried re registering the dll files but it still won't work. I did reinstall win xp pro a few weeks ago, it hasnt worked since then. Im not sure if i've installed everything i should have.

This whole pc thing aint getting any easier!

Its a dimension 2400, 3.06 ghz, win xp pro, 768ram

Is that any help?
