it was working perfectly fine on my computer with compiler. When i brought it to another computer, this happened!

i tried redoing a new testing project and creating the webbrowser in the same manner and it was good

some information:
- using MFC
- created webbrowser2 by going to dialog editor, right click and select "insert activeX"
- disabled firewall on both computer
- both computers definitely have internet connection with IE 7
- m_webbrowser.Navigate runs in a worker thread
- the target website yahoo.com is definitely up. i checked with my firefox and IE browser
- no delay, noticed. which means webbrowser2 did not neven attempt to contact the site

can anyone please help?

i have narrowed the problem down to the navigate member function being run in a worker thread. however i cannot find the root cause to the problem
