Suddenly I can no longer access web pages with IE8 (running under XP). My Firfeox browser works OK as does Outlook Express. I removed IE8 using Add or Remove Programs, and downloaded a new copy of IE8. It still won't work right. "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage."
Does Firefox load your Internet Explorer add-ons?

I have a similar problem which started a few days ago. Using XP SP3. First IE8 web page fine, but following a link and opening new tab takes for ever! Sometimes F5 will (eventually) make it appear. Disabled all add-ons -no difference. Remove and reinstall IE8 (from MS site) no difference. Start in no add-ons mode - no difference. Downloaded Firefox and am becoming familiar with it and is only way I can deliver this message. Ineterstingly the Update for IE offering multiple browsers as required by EU is installed but has never run, and it is not possible to uninstall it. Just one more of lifes very frustrating mysteries.

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, I don't even know what an IE8 add-on is so I don't know if they were loaded by Firefox.
Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2) as well as your IE version when posting in an IE-specific forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply. 1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode? => Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet Explorer (No add-ons). Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode [Applies to IE7 & IE8 in all OSS] http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/25/678113.aspx 2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed IE8? 4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)? bergiesplace wrote: > Suddenly I can no longer access web pages with IE8 (running under XP).

I went to the suggested site and, to no avail, worked through all steps except Reset as I had already downloaded a new copy of IE8. One thing of interest? For System Restore, the system failed to restore to any of three restore points dated before the day that IE8 stopped working.

Downloading a new copy (or installing it) does not reset your settings, doesn't it? Why don't you try the Reset?
IE8 cannot display the webpage (but Firefox can) <applause> FX cannot display the webpage (but IE can) <applause> IE cannot display the webpage (but FX/IEtabs can) From IE - Tools>Internet Options - Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default" or Update to the latest FX version that does not support IETabs. <bingo> Regards.
