A few months back, IE 6.0 suddenly ceased working and now
will only display the infamous "Page cannot be Displayed"
error message and it always redirects to
//C:\windows\system32\schloclc.dll/dnserror.htm. I am
running Windows XP Home with the latest service pack and
also had the latest service pack for IE 6.0. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled IE 6.0 (following the
directions in the Microsoft knowledgebase) to no avail. I
have also done an inplace reinstall of Windows XP Home and
this has still not resolved the problem. I connect to the
internet via a cable modem and have been able to browse in
the meantime using Mozilla's Firefox browser without any
problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
