I recently installed SP2 on a WINXP professional
computer. Now with IE I get a lot of this page cannot be
displayed errors for webpages, I have to keep refreshing
until it will finally display the page. I didn't ever
have these problems before installing SP2 so I am
wondering how I can fix this and get my IE6 sp2 to work
correctly and load pages like it is supposed to instead
of having to keep refreshing and waiting.
 
I don't know what this issue is but I am experiencing it as well on one SP2
machine and about 6 SP1 machines there must be a solution somewhere!!!
 
I also have this problem, and i have described it below:

I have 3 windows accounts and the internet only works on one of them and the
other two are shown a 'Cannot display this page' error message. I dont know
what has caused this problem, but right now my account is the only with
internet connection. Do you guys think it could be a virus or something? I
have a antivirus(Avast) and a firewall(Zone Alarm). I am also going to
contact my ISP about this but I think there is something wrong with IE6. Also
when I go onto one of the accounts that are faulty and go into command
prompt, then type in 'ping' and an IP address i get 4 sent and 4 recieved
packages with 0% loss, so I think that I am connected to the internet. Its
just that IE6 cannot display the page. I have installed SP2. Please let me
know what you guys think this could be
 
heyal,

i get the same problem on both computers well actually the win98 pc freezes
more than anything but this one im on now is winXp and just started doing it.

any help is appreciated.

thank you,

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
