The IE6 on my friend's notebook displays the main page but all the
graphics, different sections of the page, and many links on the page
show "page not found..." Some "X"'s may be displayed too. Some X's
link to pages but X's that usually link to pictures get nothing. Any
ideas on how to fix this problem? He can view pages/websites (e.g.
hotmail) just fine from his desktop pc but the same pages when opened
on his notebook are just full of page not found messages.
Windows version?
Is there a HOSTS file? (It may be a hidden file)
Are the sites listed in it?

There are many possible causes and solutions.
Try the quick, easy fix first. Clear the IE cache from IE> Tools> Internet
Options> General> Delete files and Delete offline content. Reset the TIF
folder size to about 50MB (Settings button) and clear it occasionally.

Additional information from Mike Burgess:
Are you using a Firewall or "filtering software"?
Several of these are known to cause problems:
1) Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?]
Reset "Ad Blocking" and "Cookie Control" to "medium"
"Mobile Code Control" = Off
2) Symantec (ISS\NIS)[Enable Browser Privacy - enabled]
Active Content - "Allow All Script To Execute"
Problem: some sites cannot detect the 128 bit encryption
Solution: Completely remove and reinstall NIS.
