Deja vu, here i am posting this again as my other post has mysteriously disappeared:dunno: . Im having troubles to with IE. If i haven't been using computer for a few hours and go to open IE then, it says "page cannot be displayed". There is nothing wrong with my connection because IRC and my 2 messengers work fine.

What size is your tempinternet files cahce?

Try emptying the cache and reload the pages.

Also delete the downloaded ActiveX modules (as there may be nasty ones in there)

can you ping the pages that won't display? I was having this prob last week with loads of sites but it was down to that bloody "Internet Optimiser" thing...once I removed it everything was ok...
