Cannot access some pages

[Peter]

I am having a problem accessing some pages on different web sites. When I
click on the link to go to another page, on occasions nothing happens, but
at the bottom of the ie6 screen I get the message "error on page". It does
not happen every time and other pages on the same site are accessible. But
as this occurs on several web sites, I assume that it is a problem with my
set up.

I have windows XP and use AVG virus checker and Outpost Firewall. I would
be grateful for any assistance - thanks

Peter

You can try updating your scripting engine. The latest scripting engine can
be found at:

(98, ME, NT4.0) For 2000 and XP go to

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

Sometimes there's a corrupt file in the cache and one must go to Tools |
Internet Options and click Delete Files.

2a. Start>Run>Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

2b. Start>Run>Regsvr32 jscript.dll

(WinXP users who have problems with 2a and 2b, see
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers_9.htm)

3. Re-register all DLLs listed in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679

4. See also

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822521

5a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot).

5b. Find the hijacker that caused 5a to be checked (or if none were checked,
check for hijackware anyway):
