Good day all!

This morning I fired up Quicken to access my bank accounts.  Regretfully 
I could not connect to the banks via the internet but I could download 
the mutual fund prices from Intuit.  Up to about 48 ago I had no problem 
using Quicken to do the job  

After a bit of messing around I figured that Quicken uses IE to 
connect.  I closed Quicken and opened IE 6 only to see nothing but the 
phrase "connecting ....".  Aha - the problem is IE.

I did a "sfc /scannow" with no apparent result.  I tried to reinstall IE 
6 and decided to go the IE7 route.  Installation went OK but I still get 
the same "connecting ..."

I shutdown ZA Security Suite with no change.

I am using DSL through a router and Thunderbird and Firefox work just 
fine - problem appears to be limited to IE.

I removed the router from the loop and connected the modem directly to 
the Laptop (Compaq V2414NR with XP Home SP 2) - no change.

So I need some guidance please.  Where do i go from here?

Thanks
Preston
