[Crosspost to IE General]

Please expand on "I see nothing:" Does IE not even open? Does it open to a
blank page? Does it open to a "Cannot display page" error message?

If your "windows are updated on a regular basis," why isn't WinXP SP3
installed yet (assuming you're not running WinXP 64-bit)? It's been
available for over a year-and-a-half and should have been offered by
Automatic Updates as well as Windows Update website by now.

Did the behavior start immediately after you'd installed IE8? ...after
installing the Oct-09 updates?

When does your NAV subscription expire? Did you disable NAV prior to
installing IE8? Did a Norton free-trial come preinstalled on your computer
when you bought it?
