I get the infamous 'this page cannot be displayed' everytime I try to use IE....although I can access the internet when I use my 'Windows Update' link in my Control Panel. When I access the internet this way I cannot use any links on the web pages I am viewing. I am not a tech wiz!! I have tried reinstalling IE, with no luck. My OS is Windows XP professional edition and I have IE 6.0 sp1. I have checked out the winsock files and there are no duplicate winsock, winsock32, wsock.vxd or wsock32.vxd files. If anyone can help me with this problem I would appreciate non-tech language if possible, as I am not that fluent in it!!
