well in order for us to help you have to tell us what the website is.

also, have you tried typing it in manually instead of using the favorites menu?

Go to this web page:

Search the Knowledge Base

Under "Advanced Search":
Next to the word FOR, type:

the page cannot be displayed

Also at "Search Product", find and click
Internet Explorer 6.0
Then click the arrow button.
You can now look through some articles for yourself, to see
if there is any help there. There are many causes for that error.
NOTE:
Check the bottom of any article to see if it applies to your edition of XP (Home or Pro).

People have few problems by using another browser, Firefox or Netscape, both free, rather than Internet Explorer.

Stryker-

Here is what I use-
at most computer stores,
including Office Depot, Office Max:
Spyware X-terminator
They say-
Spyware X-terminator will provide you with constant protection against Spyware, Adware, Dialers, Browser Hijackers, Trojans, Cookies, Key Loggers, Trackware, and other Malware while browsing the internet.

Also, be sure to update any software online
after installation, and every 1-2 weeks.
Virus and Spyware scans work better in Windows Safe-Mode.

That link is-

Chuck I don’t follow you...are you telling me to get antispyware programs? I use a variety of them and I’m clean. I was clicking on the sponsored link and didn’t realize it. You said "goto this webpage" and I clicked on the link that said web page not the one below it. My fault.
