Firefox and IE (again - sorry)

Hi,
I have a laptop that I connect wirelessly to my main computer and use firefox. I took the previous advice and added a plugin to Firefox that allows IE to open when Firefox starts in order to get microsoft updates, however when this happens, the IE screen says Access Denied (I get this message if I try to connect to IE icon).
Any help would be gratefully received.

couple of possibilities that may or may not apply:
1. have you set the correct details in IE so it can reach the net - proxies etc if required...?
2. have you got IE blocked in any of the firewall settings?
I take it IE works fine from the main computer?"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." (Mark Twain)0 -
It is a geniune copy of XP (came with laptop), when I first had the laptop I could connect to IE using a dialup connection, but could never get it to connect using my broadband wireless connection, so I tryed using Firefox which worked OK.
I can get IE on my main computer.0 -
