Did you try to upgrade the drivers for your modem? I had the same problem with the old modem drivers.

Hi,
Please let me know what version of IE are you using and also what OS.Does this problem occur after you installed some application or it started after installing the OS.I think the best Option is to reinstall the OS or try repairing the Internet Browser that is installing to the Previous Configuration.

Other wise try downloadinf the IE Patch from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/recommended/ie55sp2/default.asp

Let me know as soon as possible.

Check for Virus and I think there might be a problem with IE 6 so try going back to your pld version IE.

I had the same problem happen after I upgraded my sound card driver off of http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. I reinstalled the original drivers, and everything worked fine.
