The wife and I are both running DELL P4's with XP SP3 with IE8 through a DSL connection. My unit has IE7Pro. The ISP is AT&T. The router/modem is a 2WIRE 2701HG-B. Here are the issues we're having: Her machine:- Often gets an error message "Internet Explorer can not display the webpage" while surfing the net. No rhyme or reason. My machine:- After clicking on a link, or opening a new webpage it will appear to load. I can see the [load] message in the lower left of the screen, the progress bar looks like it's accomplishing something. Then....I get a blank white page and the message in the lower left says [done]. After multiple [refreshes], I'll eventually get where I need to go....maybe.- And the WORST one of all, on my machine,:Occasionally, I click on a link, or click on an email and all appears to be normal. The page loads normal, everything looks great. I'll start reading the text of the email or webpage, then within 10 or 15 seconds, I'll hear the "click" from the speakers like I've clicked a link, then I'll get a Dell/Google search page telling me "Sorry, we couldn't find http________.com" and, "Here are some related websites:".I can then click the back button to see where I was at, then repeat the process. It usually gets me where I wanted to go at that point. This is the bug that is most likely going to be the cause of my PC flying out a window.I'll work on posting a screen shot from my Photobucket account. I'll post again if I'm successful. - (this isn't a bug, but would be nice to fix if at all possible)I belong to several forums (not PC related), and it's very common for me to have a couple dozen emails a day from topic replies. That being said, here's how I would like to, and have been able to view the new replies.....I open the browser, then open the first email of topic reply (all is fine). I then hold the [Ctrl] button while I click the link embedded in the email to view the forum in a new tab (all is still fine). After reading the first thread, I then go back to my email account, erase that email, then find and open the next email of topic replies. At this point I'd like to right click the address for that topic reply, go back to the tab of the already open forum page, paste the address in the address bar and click 'go'. Now in the past (with Google Chrome or FireFox), I'd then be directed to the newest forum post in that thread. That's GREAT, that's the way I like it. However, now with IE8, it opens a second tab. That's a pain. That's what I'd like to fix. I'm looking for a way for IE8 to open the link I've pasted in the address bar, replacing the first page without loading a second tab, leaving the first one open. The constant opening and closing of tabs is more work than I'd like to deal with. Ok.....that's petty, I know. I'd much rather fix the other issues. If I could get those things fixed, my wife and I would be very happy. Sorry for the long post.Both machines have had their latest and greatest updates from MS, IE, Avast, and AVG. In addition, I purchased two copies of "The Ultimate Troubleshooter" ("TUT"). My PC hasquicker startup time, but no other benefit. She didn't notice a difference at all on hers. Thanks all,Bob2 people need an answerI do too

Here's a screenshot of my failure message: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k60/BobinStLouis/____-n-Stuff/Screenshot.gif?t=1257199238EDIT: Ok, it won't let me imbed an image, but there's a link for you.Thanks again.Bob

Well...... I'm not doing very well here. Try this link: http://s85.photobucket.com/albums/k60/BobinStLouis/____-n-Stuff/?action=view&current=Screenshot.gif

Ok.....Maybe this site doesn't like links?just in case you're having as bad a luck as I am clicking on those, here's (yet) another link.It's to a forum I frequent:http://www.audionervosa.com/index.php?topic=1699.15

I see what happened in my first two replies....Part of my Photobucket account addresshas a four letter word that starts with a 'c', then has the letters "rap" behind it.If you can replace the underscores in the above links, you'll be able to see the Dell/Google failure page I've captured in my Photobucket account.Wow....that was difficult.Any assistance would be GREATLY apreciated.Bob

Alright, here's another screen shot of the "redirect".Remember to change the underscores in the middle of my Photobucket address to the word "c.r.a.p.".I now regret titling that gallery with that word. Sorry about that.http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k60/BobinStLouis/____-n-Stuff/3.gif?t=1257453321As always, this "redirected" page popped up several second after another web page had loaded.
