error and have to press refresh - then it happens on some other pages as well
- i have run spybot and this hasnt fixed it - i have turned off the popup
blockers and this hasnt helped either. i have windows xp - can anyone give
me any ideas?

Stupid question to put to you, but have you tried emptying your temporary
Internet files?

Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files (make SURE that Delete All Offline
Content is checked)

Also do you run through either a local proxy server or does your ISP use a
proxy server?

Try this

Urlmon.dll Errors

Urlmon.dll controls URLDownloadToCacheFile function. Clear out your IE
history, and more importantly your temporary internet files. Shut down all
programs and boot into DOS. Run the following commands from the windows
directory:

smartdrv
deltree history
deltree tempor~1
Reboot.

This has solved my invalid page fault problem - thanks again to all who
offered help!

"Shut down all programs and boot into DOS."

There is no DOS mode in Windows XP.

Sorry, deltree is not an XP command, and you cannot boot a stock XP system
into DOS. If you start in Safe Mode, command prompt only, you still won't
have deltree. And if the disk is formatted NTFS, DOS or Win9x boot disks
are useless.

It seems that you are assuming a dual-boot system, which is in fact
relatively rare.
