Pages are not loaded

I am using IE 6 in XP Home. Every now and then when I go to a site, I get a blank page and the word "done" in the status bar. I have the default privacy and security options but have tried turning everything off. nO joy. any one know why this happens? It did not happen with 5.5. I have tried Netscape also and get the same results - the pages used to load without trouble

 

Most likely to be an issue with either your ISP or the sites themselves.

You could try emptying your browser's cache - but I doubt that it'll make any difference.

Post a URL to one of the sites with which you're regularly having difficulties and we'll see whether others are able to access it.

 

Hi - here is one http://www.pcworld.co.uk/

 

Go to Start - Run, and then type, "REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL" (without the quotes).

In IE, Tools menu, Internet Options, Programs and click the "Reset Web Settings" button.

 

DId that - same result! Here is another url if any use. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/store_doc/category.html?category=Software?type=DSG

 

Both links work for me.

Are you trying to open these pages via links in other windows or in a new window?

Have you cleared your cache?

I suggest that you run this past your ISP's technical support people too.

 

Got any "pop-up stoppers" installed?

 

I'm having a similar problem - can't access any page via the blue links on the page being used. A new window opens and that's all.
I just had ADSL installed and links worked ok but stopped working today. I've been fiddling with settings and going back to default doesn't help.


IE5.5sp2, win98se and a pent.2 - 300

PS this site is one where a link within a window leads nowhere.

 

Just ran IE repair - works fine now (on this site anyway)

 

I talked with my ISP as suggested who has very helpful. However he ended up suggesting I remove TCP/IP as he thought it might be a corrupted winsock file. This was a disaster as XP refused to reinstall it and I ended up with a new setup ( as repair did not do the trick ) of XP. And you know what that involves. I suspect some of the IE security updates as some of the sites are working but not all. I think I will leave well alone .......................
