Resolved IE cannot open page xpsp3res.dll dnserror.htm

I recently performed a clean reinstalled of XP Pro and put everything back just the way it was. Same version of IE, too, IE6. Everything is great and fully updated except that some web pages give me the following message:
"Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site.... " <website address> Operation Aborted
and the status bar says:
opening page res://c:\windows\sytem32\xpsp3res.dll/dnserror.htm.... "

This particular page and others used to open without a problem and I cannot seem to find any info on the cause of this. With Google if found references to Active X issues and I've already checked my ActiveX files and all are ok and updated.

Thanks, Lar

 

Hi Evan, I did disable the add-ons and rebooted and cleaned up IE but to no benefit.

Anyway, since IE6 did not do this before my reinstall, I don't think that the version really matters.

I know that I am stuck in my old ways but I just like IE6. How about a compromised to IE7?

 

Acc to Systray, unfortunately, they are perfect.

I will try to update to IE7 later. Thanks!!

 

Well, I updated to IE7 and the problem has ceased! I had also started noting that some websites were stating that "you have IE6 and our support of that browser will soon cease ". Talk about motivation to upgade??? It worked for me!

I still prefer the lean interface of IE6 but I do like the improved print functions of IE7.

Thanks to all!
