    Hi, I've been having trobule openeing a webpage with IE 6 in widnows xp pro.
    I tired to open www.flightsim.com but IE would just say done at satus bar and wont open the page.
    I tired to open the same page with Opera 6.04 and it opened with no problem.
    This has happened before and I don't know how - but I got it fixed.
    Now it's happening again. I tried deleting Temp Internet files too.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Dump temp internet files again along with cookies and history.
    2. Close IE.
    3. Start~run~cmd and then ipconfig /flushdns
    4. Try again. If it still fails -
    5. Edit hosts (no extension) and LMHosts (no extension) and remove any flightsim.com lines and save/close the files. Notepad will do nicely for the editing.
    6. Do 1-4.
