i am also having trouble loading some of my regular websites........netgrocer.com, netflix.com, hydrofarm.com. i keep getting the "cannot display the webpage" error. but other websites work fine. i use XP Home on windows with a dsl connection.
this is what i have tried so far:
deleted cookies, browser history, etc turned off security programs (no change) tried different browsers checked with my isp (no isp problems) had other people try the websites (they work for them) reset the modem flushed the dns cache tried using IP addresses instead, but it didn't make a difference with one exception. i could load one page in netgrocer.com. but all the other netgrocer pages wouldn't load ran the IE diagnostic program but it didn't find anything tried a few different restores (with the last restore my firefox browser is not working right and IE runs slower).
i am getting quite nervous. i really need my computer......it literally is a lifeline for me.
i'm going to try the test for incompatibility with other programs (gonna run msconfig).

hi bob, right i do have IE7, sorry. and right it did not come pre-installed. i updated from an earlier version.
i also need to update on something else i said......false alarm about IE7 & FF2 not running ok after the system restore. AVG was running in the background and slowing IE down. FF corrected itself with a page reload. but the website trouble is still there.
interesting about the flawed install idea....that happened with my printer software once and it really messed things up. but why would it cause trouble for FF? thanks.

hi bob, well, because in my original post i say that IE and FF developed even more problems when i tried a system restore. so they had the website problem and other stuff. check out my first post. but today i learned that is not really true (altho FF is acting up again).
so i don't really have *additional* problems after a system restore but i still have the website problem.
i even had trouble loading most of the links you gave me. :) i could only read one of them. thanks.

If you can't load websites you ARE having browser problems. Are we speaking the same language? :-)

yes! :) i think i gave too many details and it's confusing you.
if IE didn't install right, wouldn't the problem have shown up right away? because it didn't. i only noticed a problem in the last couple of weeks. thanks.

Denise, Here's another thing to try. Right-click on the IE shortcut icon and select the Start without add-ons option. You can then manage which add-ons are enabled, in Tools | Manage Add-ons, after you've started IE7. If this solves your problem, enable add-ons one at a time, testing as you go, until you find the culprit.
