Hello,

I seem to be having a problem with my Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 with
SP1 installed.

Frequently when I am web browsing, I attempt to connect to a webpage but
receive a message, "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site
http://www.thewebsiteI'm looking at.com Operation aborted" with an OK
button. Once you click on the OK button, the browser then shows a "The page
cannot be displayed" message as if the page doesn't exist.

I know these pages do exist and this problem is becoming very troublesome.
Can somebody please advise on why this is happening and what I can do to fix
it?

Thank,
Matt
 
With the message "Operation aborted" I would first rule out parasites.


IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com

and:

SpyBot-S&D
http://security.kolla.de/

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.

Ok, so I unchecked the 'enable 3rd party browser extensions' and it did not
clear out the problem. I did happen to run Adware of which it found a
number of tracking cookies but nothing out of the ordinary.

Any more ideas?

It may be a HOSTS file problem. (not sure since normally there is not such
error msg.)
Look for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

This is a nasty parasite that may be in the way. Get and run the removal
tool.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your posting here.

Let's try the following steps.

Right click Internet Explorer from the desktop.
Click Properties.
Click the General tab, click Delete Files and the Clear History button.
On the General page, click the button Settings.
Click View Objects, and then delete all downloaded program Files.
Click the Connection tab, click your default connection Settings.
Write down all settings, then clear all the check boxes.
Click the Advanced tab, click Restore Defaults.
Uncheck Enable third-party browser extensions.
Click the Security tab, click each item, and click Default Level.
Click OK.

If the problem still persists, can you access that web site on another
computer at that time?

Hi there,

I just found the same error on a page that I was developing, and i
seems that it can also be caused by a lot of javascript DO
manipulation before the page has completed loading.

the fix?
change: <script type="text/javascript">...</script>
with: <script type="text/javascript" defer>...</script>

the "defer" keyword means that the code is run once the page ha
finished loading, and it solved my problem.

cheers

That does not help the user much, unless the web page designer gets the message.
