I can browse the internet. But certain sites will not
load. Its all over this board.
For the "best" software company in the world, this is one
of the worst news boards to use. But thats not important
now...
I attempted to remove windows updates using the
add/remove feature. It gave a big warning that if I
removed any of the SP2 (for XP)updates that my entire
list of installed sortware may not work. I chickened out.
My friends pc doesnt have SP 2 installed and his works
fine. I wonder if it is in that update.
Also, went through all my cable internet settings
(TCP/IP, etc) with the cable co. All set correctly.
Still waiting for a geneous to solve this.
Interesting to note that one of the sites that will not
load is netscape.com
SIDE NOTE: when you post a new message to this board does
it go to the top or do messages just keep getting deeper
and deeper buried? Very hard to keep up with a thread.

I tried Spy Sweeper. Interesting to note that it
found a
lot of stuff that Spy Bot overlooked or didnt properly
clean. BUT, it didnt fix the problem. This is driving
me
crazy.
One other thing- I tried the Mozzila browser (I hope
microsoft wont remotely zap my PC now) and it did the
same thing. How can that be? The same websites wont
load.
We're talking basic stuff here, not some hardcore web
sites. One site I need to get to is PayPal. I have a
cable connection and for testing the firewall is
turned
off. Im using McAffee for firewall and AV protection.
This has to be in some windows update, as everything
was
fine until about a month ago.
I think Ill try deleting updates one by one. Ill post
if
it works.

I think I have a fix. I am working the same issue
for
a
client:
I believe that the issue is that some adware has
tweked
IE.
I have to try and fix this same issue at 4:30 pst
today,
and I have a theory, but I am unable to test it. Are
you
near a computer? If you are let me know. Then....
Go to
www.webroot.com and download the free trial of
spy
sweeper. Install it, and run the scan. dont be
suprised
if it finds alot of stuff. Its a great app. It will
quarentine it by default, and ask you if you want to
delete. Go ahead and delete the spyware/adware it
finds.
Reboot. THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THAT FIXED THE
ISSUE.

Im having the same problem. It started a few weeks
ago.
My home page is set to my.yahoo and at first I
thought
it
was their server. But it has persisted and only with
certain sites. Some of the sites that will no longer
load
on IE 6 are Yahoo (very slow or no load at all),
harleydavidson.com, match.com. Im using a cable
connection and other sites are very fast. I tried
rolling
back to before the latest win update and no good.
Ive
tried changing settings, clearing the cache, etc.
I dont get it. It just started for no apparent
reason.
Also uninstalled google popup blocker and spy bot.
Still
no fix.
May be time to try another browser.

Everytime i go to certain sites like Yahoo or a few
others,a number of times i get "Page Cannot Be
Displayed"
messages. If i use a completely different
browser,the
page
shows up fine. I've only had 6.0 for a short time
and
i
am
getting sick of this. Can someone send me a URL
with
a
patch that fixes this or something? If i have to
live
with
this for another day i'm gonna switch to another
browser
until IE can get a better browser. Thanks.
