IE6 starts loading page, then jumps to end and says page cannot be displayed.

[jardinero]

Hello,

Within the past 3 months, I've begun having a problem with my IE 6.
Very often the browser will start loading a page fine, but about half
way through, the indicator at the bottom will race to the end, then
the only thing that's displayed is the following message:

"The page cannot be displayed "

"The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site
might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to
adjust your browser settings"

And some other things below that message which are no help, either.

But, the page or pages are available, and the browser will usually
load them fine if I hit Refresh one or two times. It happens with any
page, not just a specific one.

I suspect it's a browser timing issue, which might have inadvertently
changed in the registry somewhere, but haven't any idea what to look
for in there.

BTW, it happens with both, DSL and dial-up, so I don't suspect the
connection.

Has anyone here experienced this problem with his or her IE browser?
How did you fix it?

Some system specs are:

Win XP Home SP-2 now, but problem existed with SP-1 as well
DSL connection
P-4, 2.8MHz
768MB RAM

It sounds as if you have spyware on your computer. If
you have a spyware removal tool (eg: SPYBOT), update it
and scan your computer.

Thanks, but after running TDS-3, Ad-aware, Highjack this,
SpywareBlaster, Norton A/V, Spybot - Search & Destroy, all of them
completely updated, Windows comes out clean. I run these programs
often and still think there is a registry value which had changed for
some reason.

Still looking for more help though...
