Changing your IP address should not cause IE not to load. Does IE load if
you reset your home page to Blank (via Control Panel | Internet Options)?
If you reboot into Safe Mode (with or without networking)?
Did the behavior persist after you'd reinstalled IE7 but before you'd
installed WinXP SP3?
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you
(re)installed IE7? ...when you installed SP3?
What third-party toolbars are installed (e.g., Google; Yahoo; Windows Live;
Skype; Roboform)?
Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | make sure Show Updates is check |
scroll down and tell me what was the last security update for IE ["Security
Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB999999)"] installed and when was
it installed?
