IE doesn"t open

Thought I had this VPC figured out and working, but now when the VPC desktop
opens and I try and open Internet Explorer, nothing happens. I double click
and see the little hourglass for a few seconds and then nothing. The little
hard disk symbol at the bottom blinks a couple times, but then just sits
there. I've reset a couple times and nothing changes...desktop opens,
double click IE...nothing. I did get a strange message when resetting:

The Virtual Machine additions in the PC "Windows XP Professional" are
obsolete. When Windows has completed starting up and you can see the
Windows desktop, choose 'Install or Update Additions' from the PC menu.
Virtual Machine Additions add Faster Video, Drag & Drop, Folder Sharing, and
Integrated Mouse support to Windows.

I hit the continue button on this message, and then tried doing the above,
install or update additions from the PC menu, and again nothing happens.
Seems extremely complicated, plus how do you know when anything is happening
in the VPC world...the little blinking dot by the hard disk icon?

Hope this helps:
For me IE in Windows XP in VPC 6.1 could not connect to the internet
(could not find server) until I cleared the MAC history files of IE in
the MAC version of IE. Then the MAC connected to the server (VPC open
in background) . Next, get VPC Windows Desktop to the forefromt (from
background with a mouse click) and Open IE; it successfully connects
tothe Home Page selected previously.

In other words it works if the MAC internet connection is CONNECTED
from the MAC and THEN
I open IE. Also found that using Intuit Software that seeks updates
via Internet, it will cannot connect unless the MAC is already
connected to the internet BEFORE the VPC program seeks to make the
connection.
