I know its bizzare. I've tried it with IE closed...still doesn't work. I know this is sort of unrelated, but when I installed VISTA is did a clean install, not an update and the very next thing I did was install my AVG, however the firewall component didn't install and I instead rely on the Windows firewall, which I feel I have no control over and would much rather be using the one in AVG, but I'm not sure how to address this either.
