my problem only occurs when I click a link with URL's that contant another http:// ex: http://rd.yahoo.com/dir/abl/featuring/?http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/ or http://rd.yahoo.com/movies/navbar/showtimes/text/?http://movies.yahoo.com/showtimes/showtimes.html basically.. any URL with another http:// in the string will cause the page to display the page cannot be displayed error. I have IE 6. I am not exactly sure why this happens but I am starting to think that it is because of a service that I disabled using the Admin tools. O well thanx for any info!

The way I read this is that you are trying to enter two URLs on to one line. The address can only contain one url thus: http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/55841.html If you add another address to that for example: http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/55841.htmlhttp://movies.yahoo.com/movies/ Then you are going to get an error. Am I correct in assuming this is what you are doing?

I hate it when someone asks a question, gets a reply and then does not have the decency to come back and acknowledge the fact... puts me right off posting!

ehh sorry.. i didn't check the post.. but nope it's actually an URL redirection.. like it has a ? in front of the second http:// and sometimes a *. I clicked the links on yahoo, i didn't actually enter them.

Then I suspect that some ad company has placed a line in your registry. You could try running Spybot or Ad-aware. Or you could do a manual search for the url in the registry. No harm in trying...
