IE 6 page loading problem.

[Terry]

I am having a problem with web pages not loading. Not all
but some. No particular sites. MSN home page never loads
completly. Status bar says 1 item remaining. Links that I
click, some will load and some will say this page cannot
be displayed. Another computer on the same line, either
wireless or DSL, works fine. Both have XP home and all
settings in Internet options are the same. This is
getting worse as more and more pages are not loading. I
have checked the KB's and do not see an article for this.
I did a system restore to a date prior to the beginning
of this problem. What stupid thing am I missing?? All
help will be appriciated.

Thank you

Terry

I am having similar problem. Pages load but without static images. I keep in finding new pages that do not display properly. Couple of pages that do display properly are www.hotmail.com, new.bbc.co.uk.

I'm getting the exact same thing,,,,only mine is happening with any page on yahoo,,I also notice I-frame banner ads do not load either,,,and have a page not found in the background as a default. This is really annoying. Also same thing happens on www.cnet.com no images load. Sometimes a jpeg will show up,,but all .gif files don't show. I'm on DSL, all my internet settings are default, I've installed IE service pack over and over, cleared my cache,,talked on tech support with someone until 4:30 am the other day,,and it still happens,,WTF is goin on here microsoft? And yeah,,,it alwasy says,,,1 item remaining,,and it never loads,,then I get a page error. I tried doing some research on this,,and the best I could come up with is that images that don't load were created with photoshop 7.0 on a MAC with OS 10. Doesn't seem right to me though

If anyone has a fix for this, please email me at (e-mail address removed)

Thanks

Bono,

"I also notice I-frame banner ads do not load either,,,"

Sounds like your HOSTS file?

You can use a simple batch file to rename the HOSTS file "on-the-fly".

Are you using a Firewall or "filtering software"?

Several of these are known to cause problems:
1) Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?]
Reset "Ad Blocking" and "Cookie Control" to "medium"
"Mobile Code Control" = Off

2) Symantec (ISS\NIS)[Enable Browser Privacy - enabled]
Active Content - "Allow All Script To Execute"
Problem: some sites cannot detect the 128 bit encryption
Solution: Completely remove and reinstall NIS.

3) Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer"
or contains entries that are blocking access to the desired site.

4) HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the desired
site.
Symptom: Page cannot be displayed / Cannot find server or DNS Error

In the event you can not access a site or missing graphics and
you believe it may be due to an entry in the HOSTS file.
