Today upon signing in to computing.net I get a dong!and then the window saying,"Microsoft Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site www.computing.net Operation Aborted. When I click ok, the window disappears. Then each time I move to a different window within the site, I get the same message.
Is there any way to take care of this except for System Restore? Thanks.
I received the same popup box with red x that says:
IE cannot open the internet site http://computing.net/windowsxp/winb... - Operation aborted.
Follow that I got "Web page cannot be found." I manually closed IE7 and restarted IE and tried again with no problem. I guess it's confined to CN site (had no problems with other sites).
Justin?

I have had that problem occasinally with IE5.5/6.0...
Usual fix for me in those instances has been to clear out all cookies, history etc; thus losing any references to it in IE. Then re-enter manually the url for CN and it all works fine...
Possibly this works equally with IE7?
Avoiding IE7 for the moment... pending further reports etc. about it...

I did as the 2nd letter suggested, ie., clearing history, et al as I knew how to do this. Justin, I do not know how to manually close IE and then restart. Could you send that info to me please. I am not having a problem with any other site.

Closing and restarting IE did not work nor did cleaning out cookies, history, etc. Does anyone have any other suggestion?

Ditto to that. It's what PC World still recommend in its exhaustive Windows Vista FAQ released two days ago. Quoted:
IE7 is a major step up from its predecessor, but Firefox is safer, has more features, and is far more customizable with add-ons and themes. IE7 remains a valuable option when you encounter one of those clueless, IE-only Web sites.

I got it too using IE7 but it was only for the advertisement at the top. After clicking Ok the CN page was still displayed and the error message then appeared where the AD at the top usually appears.
I'm on IE6 at the moment and haven't seen it.
I think the specific advertisement's server link was down.

Using IE7, I had the same problem.
I changed my security setting to "medium" and now it's OK.
I guess I'll have to make CN a "trusted site" now.

How do you change your internet security to medium? I would like to try that; this message is annoying.

IE\Tools\Internet-Options\Security-tab/custom-level button
takes you to a drop-down/settings list...
