Help! I can't get internet pages to open which require login eg bank, gmail etc?

I also can't download IE 7.0 and get the 0x80072EE2 error. I have tried all the microsoft fixes and none work (Most of the automatic windows updates do work though). It seems like an internet setting or firewall is blocking any pages where authentication is required. I have also tried switching off the anti-virus software but that didn't help. Basically all the pages (that come after you put your username and password etc.) just time out. I've got XP SP2 and IE 6.

Try disabling your proxy, if you use internet explorer, do following:


1. Open it, go to Tools%26gt;Internet Options.


2. Go to "Connections" tab. At the bottom, see LAN Settings, click it.


3. Check if you enable the proxy. Try disable it.


4. When this problem occurred?


Actually I don't like this explorer. Why don't you get Firefox, instead?


OR may be you're behind a firewall?


Do you use your PC by yourself? may be there is someone trying to fix the connection, but he failed.





I ever experienced similar problem. Then I figure out that proxy server blocks our request to the destination. OR you may be in a corporation, and your company prevents you to view those site.
Reply:Tried the proxy setting already to no avail. Thanks anyway! Report Abuse

Reply:clear all your cookies temp files ect, then do a cold bootup, IE close down pc, turn off eclectric, pull out your plug from wall socket, wait 10 mins then reboot.


Im asuming you have already run your antvirus and spyware scans?
