IE6 is not openning any web sites!

[Guest]

The IE6 closes up (disapears) after a few second of trying to download a page
(as it states in the status bar), and then the file download dialog box and
on top of that the error message box pops-up. When I click on OK on th error
dialog box, both of the dialog boxes disapears.

After IE crashes, it shows an error message that reads:

Internet Explorer cannot download / from www.msn.com.
Internet Expleorer was mot able to opwn this Internet site. The requested
site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again.

I have WinXP with SP2 installed.

Interestingly enough, Firefox browser is working fine. But not sufficient
for me since some of the websites I need to use requires IE.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Dursun

That's our first answer because it is by far the most common cause.
