IE won't function in Guest Account

When I log in as Admin, I'm able to use either Opera (my personal preference) or IE for browsing. If I switch to the "Guest" account, IE does not function. The browser window opens, but times out. Have I tweaked a setting by mistake in my admin account that prevents IE??
Opera works fine in Guest, so I've discounted netwok settings. Can anyone help?? Some people - my wife, for example, are not comfortable with Opera. How do I enable dual browsers in Guest??

Please disregard. I'd inadvertantly stopped permissions to IE with a software firewall - Sygate. I think I must have been on the web and denied IE, thinking I was still dealing with the dreaded 'internet optimizer' pop-up that I finally got rid of. Sometimes I'm too quick to take action when I'm immersed in the machine.
It must have been later that I went into Guest, and couldn't connect.
My apologies.
