Still "No Page to display"

[Frustrated in Atlanta]

Hi,
I have had still so many problems to launch an internet
explorer session. I had posted earlier in the week and
completed the recommended, but still have the issue. Below
is the information on the issue.
Thanks so much,
Frustrated in Atlanta

I had posted:
I have had IE 6 work in the past, but a few days ago, every
time I launch my IE 6 browser I get the following:
1) "No page to display"
- I have tracked this on my task manager and can see the
increase of memory use
- eventually it tells me my virtual memory need to be
larger and page filing needs to be changed. I have done
this and made a lot larger than what was recomended and I
still have the same issues.

2) All my other applications and applets are fine. I tried
reinstalling IE6 SP1, but to no avail (I am using windows
2000 OS). So I tried downloading Netscape thinking this
had to do with the browser. I have no issues with
Netscape. Please offer and suggestions or helpful hints or
I will have to use Netscape.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

I then replied with this, but with no further reply.

Thanks. I looked at both information you cited below.After
reading both sources, I ran lspfix, but nothing was fixed
as my summary had 0 counts for all items (e.g. 0 renumbered).
I then thought I would use the MS Knowledge Base Article
that was cited -- 308780. I was going to replace the key
from a healthy computer, but I tried to find the key
"HKEY_Local_Machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\winsock2",
but could not find this key either by using the tree
display or the find function in the Registry editor on the
computer that had the problem.

Any thoughts or input?

Reading through the newsgroups I find many "No page to display" for some
users relates to being hijacked by spyware, that is trying to navigate your
IE to somewhere else. Try http://lavasoftusa.com
This contains Ad-Aware spy removal program, that has a free trial version.
I am sure earlier feedback had you check your IE Settings on the Connections
page to verify its set correctly to whatever your type of connection is?
I hope this is of some usefulness.
Thanks

Run MSCONFIG from the start/run applet and under the Start Up tab examine
