I loaded the cumulative update 8/07 and it disabled IE7 in an interesting way.  All the URLs I type result in "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page".  

I run the comms diagnostics in IE and they say nothing is wrong.  I can browse using Real Player no problem (which uses IE) except when it opens up an IE7 window in which case I get the error message.  I downloaded Firefox and installed it using IE settings and it runs no problem.

The computer concerned is a desktop.  My laptop is unaffected by the cumulative update 8/07.

I checked all the IE settings and can't see anything wrong.

I have the same issue. i deinstalled this update several times now to get the connection with IE back. Netwerkconnections stay ok.

Strange MS didn't solve this for such a long time.

I use Vista en IE 7

Sounds like the ultimate security update....a patch that disables IE7 completely.
