! Having to hit refresh a lot

[BrickMorTar]

As of recently, I often get "cannot find server" when I navigate to a new
page in IE and have to hit refresh to get the page to appear. Having done
so, the page appears instantly. But's it's a pain.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2
WinXP SP2
512mb RAM
P4 1.5GHz
Cleared temp Win files
Automatic clearing of temp IE files
Defragged
Warm/Cold rebooted many times.
Win updated constantly
Bellsouth Ultra DSL connection
SyGate firewall

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

3. Click OK, and then click OK again when you receive the following message:

DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded.


4. If that doesn't fix it, see this article:

5. If you are using WinXP try this:

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand File" for WinXP).
Type oleaut32.dll, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.

Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file's location, which is
probably in the Win98 (i386 for WinXP) folder of your installation CD-ROM
(typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386 for
WinXP) folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System (C:\Windows\System32
for WinXP), and click OK. System File Checker (or msconfig) looks for the
file, saves it as you requested, and then tells you that 'the file has been
successfully extracted'.

You may need to reboot.

Thanks for all the info, Frank. I haven't tried any of it yet, but I'm
confident one of the solutions has got to work. If not, I'll come back.
Thanks again.
