ie 6 - XP - Page not found error

[John Blair]

I have a problem in that my IE 6 gives me a "page not
found" error for any URL I try to go to. IE can't
connect to the web. Hoewever, my Netscape, Eudora email,
and FTP programs can access the net.

System e-Machine running XP, Norton AV (up to date).

I give up!!! With the help of Michael Jennings pointing
me to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=318378
I was able to turn off IE6 so that I could reload it from
CD.

I just finished reloading IE6 and re-booting. Brought
up IE 6 and I still get the "page not found" error.
Over the last 2 weeks I've spent over 10 hrs trying to
fix the stupid problem.


I think this all started when I ran ad-aware 6 to check
for spy ware.

I know many of you will say to go to the
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm site.

I have! Here's what I've done!

1. I've spent several hours reading the various files in
the Knowledge Base to no avail.
2. Reinstalled the winsock.dll
3. Scanned for spyware again using CWShredder
4. I went through the items there and led to the following
items from Microsoft's knowledge base
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=826718 (IE 6)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326155
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=812336
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315054
when I did the cmd, regsvr32 /u ahiehelp.dll,
error message "LoadLibrary("ahiehelp.dll")
failed - the specified module could not be
found"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=307164
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;307164

5. I wnet to: http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm and
downloaded their tool to Repairs Winsock 2 settings -
LSP-Fix from http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

6. From http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm ran:
RepairTabs.reg
UnlockNoBrowserOptions.reg
WinsockFix.exe (again)

Still trying to solve the problem.

TIA

have you tried ad-aware backup file for what you removed???
spybot has a backup file too. plus go into connections in
ie tools,options,and see that if on high speed that you use
any connection available.
