In the above thread, ddale900 tells us much more than you do in your reply
or in your post here in IE General.

Are you also running Vista SP1? If so, did you install it via Windows
Update or manually? What anti-virus application or security suite is
installed on the Vista Ultimate x64 Edition machine? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Do
you have both the third-party firewall and Windows Firewall enabled, too?
Do diagnostic tests tell you any ports are blocked? How do you connect? Do
you also see the same behavior in other browsers?

To Markimus Prime!
3 times you would not answer the calls from Microsoft!
Not much point you coming to any Newsgroups!
