Hi Robert,

Your firewall may be blocking it. Temporarily disable your firewall to see if that's the case and if so set it to allow SlimBrowser.

PS - Now that IE7 has tabbed browsing you shouldn't need SB.

What firewall are you using? They usually have an icon in the system tray (icons next to the clock) which you can double-click to open and then configure the firewall.

anti vir, zone alarm

Open Zone Alarm and click Program Control. Slimbrowser is probably shown with an X against it, meaning Block. Click it and choose Allow. See http://www.markusjansson.net/eza.html for info.

Also, go into Control Panel - Security Centre and make sure Windows firewall is Off. You don't really need 2 software firewalls.
