unable to open web page however can get same web page up on 2 other computers
at the same time as mine wontopen the web page .this page was in favorites
and was used daily for a few months .
i have had this version of internet explorer for some time .i have removed
and reinstalled ie7 with no change to the problem,can anyone help me fix this
problem,all other web pages in favorites open normally.

Error message after you install a Windows Internet Explorer 7 update from
Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "Webpage cannot be displayed":
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942818

If tweaking your third-party firewall's settings don't help, try the
following:

1. Disable your anti-virus application, any real-time protection provided by
an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender; includes Spybot
Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable any
third-party firewall AND enable the Windows Firewall.

NB: You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else online (e.g.,
browsing; reading email; chatting) except #4 below until your anti-virus
application has been re-enabled! If you're running ZA Free firewall, you
may need to uninstall it instead of disabling it.

2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB942615)"
via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right)
and reboot.

3. Re-do #1 above.

4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates
offered. If "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional Updates
category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's
additional security.

5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if
applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable your third-party
firewall.

How do you connect (i.e., dial-up; ADSL; cable; satellite)? Any "internet
accelerators" installed?

If you connect via a router, does the behavior persist if you connect
directly to the modem?

You're very welcome and thanks for your feedback. (If you use a third-party
firewall, I suspect that it may have been the troublemaker here.)

I have a similar problem, but it is with users on the same computer. My user
account can access sites, but other users can't. Even simple sites such as
msnbc do not display correctly. Is winsock per user?

Can I copy the problem user IE7 configuration file from another computer
that gives good acces?
