Hi,
Quick, easy possibilities first...
1. Control Panel> Internet Options> General, try a Blank homepage.
2. Clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content when that dialog pops up) It's often
recommended that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)
3. If running XP SP2, try IE> Tools> Manage add-ons. Disable add-ons to see
if
one of them is the culprit. If not using SP2, try one of these free
programs:
ToolbarCop:

4. [WinXP]
Try opening a Cmd window (or from Start> Run) enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear the Temporary Internet Files and restart.
5. You may have a malware problem. Try CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot and the
other programs listed and
explained at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security
tips on that page.

I'm running on XP and everytime I try to open explorer I receive "The page
cannot be displayed". I am able to surf the web with Mozilla Firefox without
issue, however, I have many programs that only run through ie, so I need
help!
