Some web pages won't display after XP2

T

tnom

After installing XP2 I noticed a few web pages won't load.
www.walmart.com is one of these un-viewable sites.

Upon first loading the page is blank and the source files of ALL of
these sites are exactly the same. I will copy the source file below.

***********************************************************************
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var mUpTime=new Date(0);
RealOpenWindow = window.open ;
function RecordMUpTime(){mUpTime = new Date();}
function MyWndOpen(url,name,attribute)
{
if(mUpTime)
{
var openTime=new Date();

openTime.setTime(openTime.getTime()-mUpTime.getTime());
if ( openTime.getSeconds() < 2 )
return(RealOpenWindow(url,name,attribute));
}
}
function NoError(){return(true);}
function moveTo(){return true;}
function resizeTo(){return true;}
onerror=NoError;
window.open=MyWndOpen;
//-->
</script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
if(document.layers){document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);}
document.onmouseup=RecordMUpTime;
//-->
</script>
***********************************************************************
After re-loading the same page, the page now gets scrambled with
random characters. Re-loading again brings the blank page back up.This
toggling effect takes place on all of these un-viewable sites. The
source file is scrambled also. These web pages fill with the below
scrambled mess

2f48 í}ksÛ¸’èg«*ÿ
ÃÙë$g‹o‰‰¥)ÇI&9'ÉøŽ=™Ù½µ¥¢$ØbB‘Z’²£³{ö·ßn€ð)Jv<ŽmU"S$ˆn4?îÐÝét:?<{FÂÈ"2¦çŽ7òì

)¢_£î$ %2 èÙ@Âë.+¶?w‡åêš.Ò«vÅæ4²‰gÏ
‘W4œ

It should be noted that each time a site like walmart is scrambled the
characters are always in the same order. Meaning every other time I
re-load the walmart site and see the scrambled page instead of the
blank page the same exact characters show up in the same exact place
and order. When I go to another un-viewable site like jcpenny the
scrambled page has different characters than the walmart site but they
stay consistent with each re-load of the scrambled jcpenny site.

It should also be noted that I use a wireless router. My daughters
computer uses Windows 2000 along with the same wireless router and
she has no problems loading the pages. I can import here source file
and my IE6 will load the page properly.


Here are more sites that are un-viewable from my XP2 computer

www.walmart.com

www.jcpenny.com

http://www.mcse.ms/

http://www.judaspriest.com

http://www.webservertalk.com/

http://www.longhornblogs.com/scobleizer/archive/2003/10/22/345.aspx

http://longhornblogs.com/zhanbos/posts/7662.aspx#FeedBack



And the below related sites DO work.....Don't ask me why?

*******************************************************

This is what I have done so far...........

Made sure no spyware was on my computer.

Made sure no virus was found

Deleted temp internet files and cookies

Put IE6 back to its default settings

Installed new scripting

Installed script debugger

Created new user account

Turned Windows Firewall off

Delete HOSTS file

Turned off wireless encryption and firewall

Re-installed XP2

Re-installed IE6 for XP2

Ran Hijackthis and deleted anything not needed

Ran these:
Regsvr32 URLMON.DLL
Regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
Regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
Regsvr32 mshtml.dll
Regsvr32 JSCRIPT.dll”
Regsvr32 VBSCRIPT.dll
Regsvr32 browseui.dll

Installed Opera and Firefox

**********************************
It still won't work. Any suggestions?
I think IE6 in XP2 has a bug in it. Others
with XP2 have reported being able to view
walmart, but I can't?

Hi,
Are there any other programs running (security, privacy, ad blockers, etc)
that might be causing this?

You might try running SFC to check for missing/damaged files.

Hi :)

You might try the information below and see if it helps. It could be that
something is blocking your access:

As Don suggests, check for any 3rd party ad or popup blockers, toolbars such
as Google or Yahoo that might have such blockers. If you have Yahoo
Companion, uninstall it.

Check your firewall for any blockers, and your AV, especially, any Norton
programs.

Try renaming the hosts file. There may be something in your Hosts file that
is blocking this site and preventing it from being loaded.

HOSTS Files:

or
http://accs-net.com/hosts/get_hosts.html

How Do I Use the HOST File?
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/how_to_use_hosts.html

How to Edit HOST File:
http://www.lithiumdata.com/QandA/hosts.htm

How to check HOSTS file

Windows/host (it will not have an extension, NOT the host.SAM) and if there
is more than one, choose the one that says Application in a column to the
right . Right click on it and select Open with.....when the window opens,
scroll down the list to Notepad. Once it opens in Notepad, scroll down the
list to see if that site is in the list. If so, DO NOT delete it, just go
to the very front of the line to the left and enter # in front of the line
so that it looks similar to the one below, as the entries with # in front
will be ignored.

# Entries with other comments are searchable via Google.

Then click the save button and close. Then try the site again.

For more information on the HOSTS file check here

Hi,

SpywareGuard is running. When it's disabled it makes no difference.

I use SpywareBlaster but I have restored all of its changes with no
luck.

I also use Ad-aware and Spybot. I have also restored all of these
entries with no luck.

I use Down2home which keeps track of network activity. I shut it down
and it makes no difference.

When Windows firewall and popup blocker are disabled it makes no
difference.

My wireless adapters firewall and encryption have been shut down with
no success.

As Don suggests, check for any 3rd party ad or popup blockers, toolbars such

Companion, uninstall it.

I never have had any extra toolbars or integrated other programs with
IE6. The IE6 I have is a fresh install.
Check your firewall for any blockers, and your AV, especially, any Norton
programs.

I have shut everything down including Norton with no luck.
Try renaming the hosts file. There may be something in your Hosts file that
is blocking this site and preventing it from being loaded.
I have previously deleted the two hosts files I have. The ones I have
now say only "127.0.0.1 localhost"
If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Still not resolved. There are no error messages. Just the inability to
load specific sites.

Hi :)

Then you have a 3rd party program or setting that is causing the problem, in
which you need to make a change in a setting. You might check the following
as well.

If you have anything Norton uninstall it.

Check the Hosts file in SpyBot to be sure it's not in there to be blocked.

If you have Zone Alarm, check the blocked list to make sure it is not in
there, or disable it and see if that helps.

Check the Hosts file on your machine:

HOSTS Files:

or

also...check your Trusted and Restricted sites and make sure it is not in
the Restricted Zone, and is in the Trusted Zone.

The problem is fixed. I had to restore the computer to a time before
XP2. Then I re-updated on update at a time. I also had to re-install
clean up and correct third party programs after the restore.

I have no idea what originally caused the problem.
