Internet Explorer Problem

[Startreker]

HI All

I am needing a little help with Internet explorer. I will explain...

I recently upgraded to SP2 (not sure if this is the problem) and now when i use Internet explorer (Ver 6) i cannot get the Internet at all. I am using Avant Browser and Opera which i love but when i goto windows update it automatically uses Internet explorer and cannot find a website at all. I have reset the default setting in the Internet options.

The other thing that i noticed which may not be related is using Windows Media Player i cannot get the Internet at all (to update or Find Album details). I can go to the radio website that WMP uses and it loads like it should in WMP but does not in Windows Media Player.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
