Update works but no IE or Firefox

Hi all,

Been away for a while to return to return to find the kids laptop running Home Premium 
has the 2 monitors in the taskbar & can do all updates but IE7 or Firefox or progs 
that use the net I suspect on running like Spybot or Adaware seem to fail. No specific 
error just can't locate any web pages as if no connection.

I've tried with wireless & an RJ45 cable etc but it must be good (ish) coz update 
from Microsoft works.

It also works in safe mode, so I disabled all startup stuff in  msconfig but still 
no joy. I can't recall how to do a repair of IE but Firefox etc doesn't work so am 
lost for now. Still playing but in case it's easy and someone knows I thought I'd 
ask.
