It will get stuck at connecting then it will attempt the home page and then nothing comes up in the content window (stays blank white). Attempting to select any menu item will bring up the DLL error listed above.

The only way I can successfully use IE 7 standalone is to shut off my firewall and antivirus when running the program. These 2 seem to be the only things that cause this issue for me. I have tried to shut everything else running but these 2 and it will not work. I shut them both off and voila! IE 7 standalone works. IE7 has been set to have internet access in the firewall so it must be something else causing it to hang.

Firewall and Antivirus is Computer Associate's ETrust.
