How to adjust policy setting?

Guest
I'm using Vista Home Premium edition.

After last automatic upgrade my IE was not able to connect to the internet.

Troubleshooter returned the following message:

The fololowing policy might need to be adjusted to allow Windows to connect:

Policy Provider: -

Filter Name: VSWFP_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_CONNECT_V4

I'm using Windows Firewall.

The strange thing is that AOL easily connecting to the web, and neither IE

nor Firefox can NOT.

Help please.

Thank you in advance,

LM

Run gpedit.msc to use the Group Policy Object Editor.

Type gpedit.msc in the start button or use the windows key + r and type in

gpedit.msc.

There are various components such as diskmgmt.msc that run in the "Microsoft

Management Console.

From MMC help:

"Microsoft Management Console (MMC) hosts administrative tools that you can

use to administer networks, computers, services, and other system

components. "

The problem is that the OP has Vista Home Premium and just like XP Home,

gpedit.msc and MMC are not available in that version of Vista.

To the OP: Check in the Windows Update newsgroup for fixes for your issue.

Try this...

Do one of the following:

• Click Start, click Run, type mmc, and then click OK.

• At the command prompt, type mmc, and then press ENTER.

Now click Open on the File menu.

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32 (or wherever your windows directory is

located.

You should see various .msc files you can open.

gpedit.msc should be one of them.

No, the OP won't find gpedit in Vista Home Basic or Premium.

At last I've got there and found mmc.exe. Do you want me add snap-ins now

(which ones) and then somehow configure them?

Your version of Vista doesn't have the group policy component.

Ok so my computer has Vista Basic Home which most people will be using.

In my case this error was due to Zone Alarm. What I did was open

Zonealarm go to the tab for Programs and remove 'Internet Explorer'.

Then click Add and choose Internet Explorer from the folder. Then it

will show 2 Green arrows which means allow internet access and 2 reds to

disallow certain types of internet access. Change these to ? (question

marks) and close the window. Launch Internet Explorer and this time it

will ask if external internet access should be allowed. Choose Yes and

check box to remember and it should work from now on. If you have a

different firewall, a similar situation may arise. The easiest way to

check is shut down your firewall and try Internet Explorer to see if it

works. That is how i narrowed down what was causing the issue.

Ok so I downloaded SP1 for Vista and went to install it. Three

windows appeared, the topmost of which has a button labeled

"install" or some such thing. I clicked on the button and nothing

seemed to happen (but Vista has a habit of looking like it is doing

nothing when it is actually doing something) so I went about doing

"housekeeping" in the form of closing whatever programs I had

opened while navigating to the aforementioned service pack.

I eventually arrived at the bottommost window to find a message

stating "what you should know before installing SP1" or some such

thing. It seemed funny that Vista would place a before window

two windows deep - but Vista also seems to have a habit of not

doing the expected thing. I perused the informational window to

my satisfaction (apparently it is best to install updated drivers from

the manufacturer before installing SP1) and clicked "next" or some

such thing.

Then, I arrived at the middlemost window. This was the "end user

license agreement" or some such thing. It seemed funny to me that

Vista would place this underneath the 'install' window but Vista...

Back at the former uppermost (now onlymost) window, I click the

install button and successfully installed SP1.

To the poster I am replying to:

Huh?
