IE doesn't "want" to browse

[Guest]

In just the last two days, if I click on a link in my favorites I get 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." If I then
click the link again, the new site opens.

Would anyone know why this is happening?

Thank you.

This also happens if I click on a link in Google. Links are appearing in
browser with a "/" at the end. If I delete the "/" the link works. Any ideas
help would be greatly appreciated..

You need to keep all your comments in the same thread, otherwise no one has
any idea what you're talking about. Update - to what? "This" also happens -
what also happens?

May I suggest that you ditch the kludgey web interface and use Outlook
Express for newsgroups? It's already on your computer, and it's easy to use.

Update was in reference to my original post and was posted to the original
post...if there is a way to edit, I can't find it. I'm sorry..I do not know
how to use Outlook Express to post to a newsgroup.

To re-explain..IE will not load any website unless I click on a link
twice..the non-loading of websites happens if I click a link in my favorites
folder or a link in Google..would anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you

Hi Leslie

Here you go. This will give you instructions on how to set up OE as your
newsreader, and then set up the MS newsgroups you want to subscribe to.

First...

Read here how to setup Outlook Express as your default newsreader
http://www.ieinfosite.co.uk/tip_view.asp?id=23
http://grc.com/configOE.htm
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098

Next......

Create New Identity:

Your identity may be damaged. Try creating a new identity, add your
account(s) to it and if all works well, you can import your messages
from the problem identity, then delete it at some later date.
when all seems well, use file>import to get your mail from the old ID into
the new ID before deleting the old.

Then....

How to set up an MS newsgroup

In OE go to Tools>Accounts>Add (or New)>News.
Set up an account for this news server:
msnews.microsoft.com

Scroll down the list to the groups you want to subscribe to and then click
Subscribe. When done, click OK

The server is free and does not require you to logon. This news server
carries over 2200 newsgroups related to Microsoft products and keeps
messages at least 30 days.


Hope this helps
