Internet Explorer cannot open internet site-Operation Aborted

I recently restored my computer back to its factory setting whiping everything clean. I have a HP with windows vista.Bought in 2008. when i was finished restoring the computer i updated all the windows updates it said it had (119 updates). updated java and adobe and a couple other things. Now i am having problems loading certain websites. I looked into it a little bit noticeing most answers said i had something to do with scripting or something of the sort. not sure how to do all that just trying to download google chrome and use the internet.Its having a problem downloading anything really.Is there a way to fix this??
