IE 7 error "cannot open the internet site operation aborted"

Question

I am well aware there is already a similar post on this subject, but my issue persists.

I did both suggested workarounds:

1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. On the Security tab, select the zone the site loads under.
3. Scroll down to the Scripting section, and set the Active Scripting to Disabled - prevents scripts or to Prompt - prompts user to run or not to run scripts.
4. Click OK.

and

1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. On the Security tab, select the Restricted Sites zone.
3. Click Sites, click Add, and then click OK.

User is running IE7 on Windows XP.

So any suggestions?

Thanks!

Although this might not exactly help you, I am going to quote from Microsoft's website:

The easiest way for you to fix the problem is to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8. This problem no longer occurs in Internet Explorer 8
