Default A Few Wierd Issues That Google Cant Resolve..

Ok, so first off, apologies for not being here the last few days, I had to fly into Dublin at short notice, and havn't had internet access until now, being back at home, which is when my troubles started.

I was using IE (only because I hadn't had a chance to install FF)and I was getting the following issues:
Clicking on a link from an Email would give the error:

<URL of site linked too>
The parameter is incorrect.

And using Windows Search, Entering a site in the address bar of IE, or clicking Windows Update in start, would all give me the error:

"The requested lookup key was not foun in any active context."


So I installed FireFox, and rebooted.

I can now open any site (before it was just my homepage)
I can open links from emails

But I still cant:

Use Windows Search (Although google is now fine, within FF)
Open Windows Update


So I seem to have solved the parameter error, but not the lookup key one.

Firewall hasn't changed, no recently removed/uninstalled programs (other than FF)

So I'm at a loss here...

TIA



Edit:
Also, it seems slower than usual, 15secs from one thread back to CJ/forums
That's way too long, x86 FF is usually about the same speed as x64 IE..
