IE cannot display the webpage

From time to time in response to the first requirement to download webpage
my IE is responsible "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". But a
second requirement is executed correctly. The same can be repeated in a row
when I call two or three webpages. After that IE starts working correctly.
(My OS - WinXP, SP3, IE v.8.)
How to fix this situation?

Thank you
Lev

You are asking your question at the wrong NG, I have cross posted to
internetexplorer.general NG. There you will find IE experts.

What PA Bear and other dubious MVPs have started is now getting imitated by
more users: rather than recommend a change in venue, they make an
unsolicited move of someone else's thread to somewhere they have deemed by
their own bias as a more appropriate newsgroup. This is trollish behavior.

<rant_start>
If the OP wishes to move or copy their discussion to another group, that
should be *their* choice and not as an UNSOLICITED action enforced by you.
Despite the pretense, you are not a moderator or admin but just another user
who is propagating the OP's discussion to different group(s) that you have
divined are more appropriate and to possibly enlarge the audience or
hopefully provide a more focused community on the topic but which may not be
a correct action. The actual source of the problem may turn out to not be
relevant to those other groups simply based on what the OP reported as the
symptoms and upon what you based your decision to forcibly redirect someone
else's discussion. If the OP wants to move or copy their discussion to
another group, that should be THEIR choice and not yours. You should only
recommend to the OP that there may be more appropriate or useful groups to
which the OP should repost or cross-post their message, not enforce the
propagation of the OP's discussion to other groups.

A misguided urge to enlarge or change exposure for a discussion based on
your biases or presumptions is not an adequate reason to alter the
Newsgroups header. Recommend the OP should move. Do not SHOVE them over.
It should be the OP's choice as to where they focus their discussion, not a
forced change made by you. Despite trying to help, forcing a redirection of
someone else's discussion is trollish behavior. Suggest the change, don't
force it.

I think you are over-reacting.

"Forcing" a cross-post to a more appropriate group is going to help the
OP in this situation. It's not as if the thread will no longer appear in
the windowsxp.general newsgroup. If OP sees the replies (even those made
by those who read it in the internetexplorer group) in the general
group, no harm is done. The crosspost is bringing those who have more
specialized and focused experience into play.

There is an added bonus as well. From now on, if OP has an IE-specific
question, he knows the best group to make the post in.

HEY VH!
I will take what you write in consideration, OK I'm done!
In the mean time what logical answer have you supplied to the OP? MOUTH!
