Keep getting thrown off after I see the page for a second

[Guest]

Whenever I am in a site using IE6 (I have all the updates automatically done)
and go to click on the next page or after a search go to click on a site, I
see the page come up for about a second and then it goes to AIMCHANNEl in the
address area and "page not found" comes up and i can't get back on. I click
back and then refresh and see the page I want for another second and then it
goes back to "page not found" with the AIM aol logo on that page. I do not
have aol. What can I do?I doesn't always happen, but it does happen at least
twice a day.

Do you have AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) Installed?
Before answering "No", check in Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs.

Do you have the same problem if you disable AIM?

I uninstalled AIM, getting page not found and some places with red "x" now
but now the page not found is a one of those generic ones on parts of a page
of info. It is the one that says, page not found, refresh or change browser
settings? How do you do that and why? And why am I getting those red x's
now?

BELOW IS THE MESSAGE I GET ON PART OF THE PAGES I SEARCH WITH RED X'S NOW
DOESN'T HAVE THE AIM MESSAGE, JUST GENERIC BELOW

I don't know. I just thought that since AIMCHANNEL was appearing in the
address bar the problem was caused by AIM.

Post a link to a publicly accessible page where you see the symptom.
I suspect you may see clues in the source that the page is doing
a redirect.

Also a common cause of Red-X and not-found are either a bad DNS
or an incorrect override in your HOSTS file; so you can check out your
symptom from those perspectives independently of IE using tools in
a cmd window such as ping -n 1 nslookup and telnet 80.
Again, post some specific details if you need help with such a diagnostic
tack.


Good luck
