IE "page cannot be displayed" error in XP

[Paula]

I've checked all the settings (dial-up, Internet
Properties, modem) I can think of to see if there is
something set incorrectly...now I'm not sure WHAT is
supposed to be the proper settings but NO page will load
regardless of the site. I emptied temp files, cookies,
did system restore, and the connection IS established.
Also, used other sites besides MSN for the home page and
receive the same message. Uninstalled/reinstalled dial-up
connection....still "page cannot be displayed" error
appears. At a total loss what to try next. Any/all help
or suggestions would be appreciated!

Your problems sound the same as everyone else who updated to SP2. Uninstall
it and wait for all the bugs to get corrected.

Yeah, I need help with this one as well. SP 2 is not the culprit here.

This also happens with me. I can correct it by clicking on "Tools",
"Internet Options", "Connections", "ettings". When I have gotten to
"settings", I find that unchecking "Use a proxy server" then allows me
to connect. Problem is, next time I try to use IE, I may have to do this
routine all over again.

I don't use Proxy settings anyway....thought about trying

to but see that it doesn't change a thing!!!! Now I'm
wondering if reinstalling XP would fix this
problem...anyone else come up with anything on
this????????

Finally found a site that contains a fix that worked with

XP.....go to
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/IEFIX.htm
Running this fix took care of the problems with IE loading
on XP machine. Hope it helps you, too!

This is Steve - Harry, I have exactly the same problem. As long as I open
IE, go to tools, connections, I find that the proxy box has magically been
checked. If I uncheck it, check the automatic detection and OK out, then web
pages load fine. But if the computer is restarted, I have to do it all over
again. I just can't get the settings in connections to remain the same! If
you learn of a fix. lots of people will want to know!
