Click on start/control pane/IE options/Privacy Tab/Sites

Look at list of sites to see if any Google sites are blocked.

You can't open google.com with either IE or Firefox?

Look also on IE8 --> Tools, Manage Add-ons, On Search Providers, Under Name: Google(Is google present w/ Live search?) Search suggestions: Is it Enabled?
