i was just reading a thread with the exact same title as this one but there was no solution to this problem.....on my partners computer running win xp home, heres what happened

One day she was doing her thing as per usual and the next she turned it on and internet explorer was doing the whole "Internet Explorer Cannot Display Page"

so after much frustration and going through the connection settings,deleting temp files,running ie7 with no addons...there was no success... i uninstalled ie7 and tried using the ie6.....same thing happened!

i re-installed ie7 and again no luck!

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Surely this (condition described in the title) has always been true?

Is Firefox 'verboten' on your partner's computer? If not, why not use that? It doesn't solve the problem with IE7 (the only real solution is to not use it), but it does avoid the frustration.

Dude i found out how to do it. i think. it works for me. Go on to internet porperties then connections, then click on the LAN settings and undo anything that has got anything to do with proxy settings. THe only one that was ticked for me was the top one.
