IE won't load. I always get the message Page Cannot Be Displayed. I have run all kinds of spyware but nothing works. Any suggestions? I can't get IE to start. I continually get the message Page Cannot Be Displayed.

Sounds like IE starts but then doesn't nab a page. DNS issue? Question: can you do anything else online, like email? Are you able to ping out, by name (www.yahoo.com) or by number (your DNS according to IPCONFIG is a good test)? If you can ping by number but not name, it's a different can of worms than if you can't ping by number either. Yes, some spyware such as New.Net can screw up name resolution, but that's usually the second or third thing I'd suspect as the problem. Say something cryptic, then leave snickering.

You need to repair your stacks with this. B4 you criticize a bigger man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away, and you have his shoes.

Sabertooth: Nice utility -- but is there a rendition for Windows versions other than XP? The manufacturer's homepage as listed on that page is 404. Say something cryptic, then leave snickering.
