This is very odd. ESPN, ABC, Disney, none at all. I can't
display ANY Disney-owned web sites! This is real odd. My
Netscape shows them - no problem. I can go to go.com and
movies.com which are both Disney-owned, but no other
Disney sites. Apparently, I am the only one on the entire
planet with this problem! Disney says all is OK, my ISP
says all is OK.

PC:
WinXP Pro
1.5 GHz P-IV
384 MB RAM
IE6, SP1, 128 encryption, latest security patches
PC-cillin 2003
WinXP ICF (on or off, same result)
No other web access problems.
No other Internet anomalies.
HELP!!
 
It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

Some parasites or Web acceleration programs will create this file and can
cause problem if the I.P. address changes.
 
Exactly what happens when you attempt to view a Disney owned site?

What's the exact error you get, etc?

No errors - just half the page loads, and it stops. It
just sits there as if it were done. I can see the page
title in the title bar.
 
OK, I tried that, with no change. This is the oddest
thing I've ever had to deal with in my 25 years repairing
computers. I appreciate your suggestion. My Netscape hits
all the sites with no trouble. This is an IE issue.
Somewhere in the registry, I bet.
Any other ideas? I appreciate yuor help.
 
Hmm... I don't know. What happens if you get to the partially loaded page
and hit CTRL-F5? Will it reload?
Try clearing out the cache and cookies?
