Page cannot be displayed msg in IE & Mozilla Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

I have got a problem with my system. The Internet Explorer was working fine, but suddenly yesterday for any url
provided in the browser window, it shows 'Page cannot be displayed'. Am not able to browse any pages. Am providing the right URL only. When am trying to login to my yahoo msgr it works perfectly alright. Only problem is with the browser.

I tried the following

---> Setting the Windows Security settings to default,

---> Checking the network connections.

---> Tried downloading Mozilla and tried browsing from that, to know whether the problem is with IE, but the same problem exist with Mozilla too.

My OS is Windows Vista.

Please guide me on what I need to do.

You guys could try the following to bring back the browser service, if it's not a connection or dns issue:



1. in the cml run  "regsvr32 actxprxy.dll" and "regsvr32 shdocvw.dll"

2. reboot windows 



If the above couldn't fix the issues, run the following extra commds:


            regsvr32 mshtml.dll
            regsvr32 urlmon.dll
            regsvr32 msjava.dll
            regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
            regsvr32 browseui.dll
            regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
            regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
            regsvr32 shell32.dll
  and restart the system once again

hello,

well I think that you have been contaminated with some spywares which are blocking access for the internet.

what I would advice you is to download a software called superantispyware from www.superantispyware.com and indtall it on your computer and have a complete full scan

I have the same problems as above, trying to get another laptop to browse the Internet through my wireless, the wireless connection strength is strong and the Wireless Network Connection is connected however Internet Explorer says they cannot display the web page, and I have tried multiple pages, all with the same result.  I ran Spybot and discovered a nubmer of problems which were connected and after rebooting still nothing, also, I ran all the commands successfully except 2.  The first was for "regsvr32 mshtml.dll" which I received the following message "regsvr32 mshtml.dll was loaded but the DllregistrerServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered." The second was for "regsvr32 msjava.dll" which I received the following message "LoadLibrary("msjava.dll") failed - The specified module could not be found".  I'm not computer savvy enough to know exactly what these mean, but this is really frustrating not being able to browse.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

A simple problem be that a firewall update changed your internet security settings and is killing your browsers.  Try temporarily deactivating your firewalls and see if that fixes it.  If it does than go into your firewall program and change the internet security settings in it.

I had a similar issue and had disabled windows firewall as a matter of course, tried running the dll's in cmd prompt and lo and behold it worked....until I restarted ldnt work at allthe pc and then it wouldnt work at all no matter how many times I tried them again....mate of mine told me noticed I hadnt disabled Panda Antivirus 2009 and that norton was still lurking in the system....so far so good used the norton removal tool and need to re-install Panda browsers working fine :-)

I was experiencing similar problems, here is what I did to fix, give it a go and let me know if you have any success.

the problem for seemed to be that some of the services that windows was running were falling over (I'm using XP by the way). Restarting these seemed to do the trick.

+ Open 'Run' from the Start menu and type in 'services.msc'

Find the services "Wireless Zero Configuration" and "DHCP Client" in the window that opens.

+ Right click on 'Wireless Zero Configuration" and select Restart. Once it has restarted, do the same for "DHCP Client". Try opening your browser again and open a webpage. It should now work properly.

Now a bit of a problem was every time I restarted my PC I had to repeat the process. I setup a batch file to run during startup so I didn't have to worry about doing this.

+ Create a file called "srestart.bat" anywhere you like. Edit it and but the following lines in:

@echo off
net stop "Wireless Zero Configuration"
net start "Wireless Zero Configuration"
net stop "DHCP Client"
net start "DHCP Client"

Now go into Control Panel and open Scheduled Tasks. Create a new scheduled task and point it to the batch file you have just created. Schedule it to run 'At System Startup'. Make sure you tick the 'Run only if Logged On' checkbox otherwise you might some an error to do with passwords. 

Everything works fine for me now.

I finally got my problem resolved!

Someone on another forum (computer net) suggested that I set IE and Firefox to accept no proxy from the net to bypass any spyware/virus that redirects links.

For IE:
In the browser, go to "Tools', 'Internet Options', "Connection", "LAN Settings" and uncheck all the boxes.

For Firefox:

In the browser, go to "Tools", "Options", "Advanced", "Network", "Settings" and check the "Direct connection to the Internet" button (leave all other buttons unchecked).

Hope this works for whoever else is having the same problem!

Hi there !

I just want to share my experience with my IE problems and how I solved it.
I bought a new Sony Vaio laptop with VISTA pre-installed. I connected to my wireless router, but as some of you here, IE did not work. Got "cannot display the page" every time.
I tried quite a lot of the tips and trics on this forum but nothing did work. 
Finally I uninstalled completely the Mc Affee software that comes with the vista or sony, restarted my laptop, and IE suddenly worked well :D
Small tip : I use AVAST as antivirus. It is free for home use and I never had problems with any software of virus. You can find it on avast.com

cheers

First of all I wanna thank all of those who posted solutions to resolve this issue. Base on my knowledge and experience I am gonna tell you how to resolve this problem. 
0) Restore your pc to a previous date. go to Start>accessories>systemtools?>system restore.
if that dint work try the following
1) Download and install Malwarebytes and scan and remove infected files.(Google it and u will find it its free)
2)  If the above  did not work. then try the following.
          *Disable any antivirus and firewalls that you might have install. if this doesn't fix the problem try this.
          *Unistall your antivirus. specially if its norton, then you can get NOD32 antivirus which is a better. 
           
3) For IE:
In the browser, go to "Tools', 'Internet Options', "Connection", "LAN Settings" and uncheck all the boxes.
For Firefox:
In the browser, go to "Tools", "Options", "Advanced", "Network", "Settings" and check the "Direct connection to the Internet" button (leave all other buttons unchecked).

4) If none of the aboved work for you try the following suggestions from previous ppl,
     a) Open a command prompt as an administrator--start>programs>accessories>start command        prompt>right click and choose use as administrator.
     b)Type the following commands without the quotes:
     "Ipconfig /flushdns" and press Enter.
      "Netsh int ip reset" and press Enter
      Vista will then want to be rebooted. Go ahead and reboot.
     When it starts back up, again open command prompt as administrator.
     Type the following commands without the quotes:
     "Netsh winsock reset"   Vista will then want to be rebooted. Go ahead and reboot. 

4) if all that dint work try the following:
         1. in the cml run "regsvr32 actxprxy.dll" and "regsvr32 shdocvw.dll"
          2. reboot windows

if the above couldn't fix the issues, run the following extra commds:
egsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 msjava.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 shell32.dll
and restart the system once again


If all that dint work. I will suggest to get a copy of vista or windows xp and reformat your pc. by reformatting your pc u will lose all ur documents and files(pics,mp3s..etc) but it will solve the problem 100% .


If you need extra information you can contact me at soulflyfgm@hotmail.com or driverofdevils@hotmail.com and I will gladly try to help you. I know its frustrating not to have something working....so I WANT to help you.

Nick · Answer

Ok guys, I found a way to fix this

The bad part is, is that it only works if you have a ipod of any sort


when you first plugged in your ipod you downloaded something called safari and if you didnt go to your itunes and do it

but safari is a amazing very high speed browser I use it all the time, trust me.

so look in your programs by doing this


1. Start menu

2. programs >

3. Safari

                                                                                      Thank you I hope it help :D

I think I know the cause of the problem, but am looking for a solution.

I found this discussion trying to resolve my issue with DNS.  I too have a Sonly Laptop running Vista Home Premium and Trend Micro. My computer keeps losing my DNS setting - which is to "Obtain DNS server address automatically." But it keeps switching to a static IP address. This means my machine cannot resolve IP addresses and I cannot connect to anything.

It is just doing this on the LAN (wired) card and the wireless keeps working. I keep wireless turned off most of the time, so usually I cannot connect. It just so happens that today the wireless was on and I noticed that I was loading pages much slower.  When I turned the wireless off, no connection at all.

When I looked at IPv4 properties, it was clicked for a fixed IP address (which was not a DNS server) so no addresses would resolve.

So, can anyone help with that problem. I think it is the same one everyone here is experiencing.

sheena · Answer

Hi guys, I encountered this problem also, but not all the time. I mean, connected but seems no internet at all. Sometimes, or most of the time I have connection though, but there were times I don't have internet but connected. My cousin told me about the spyware and she said maybe one of us who connects to that router has it. (yeahi think, 6 laptops uses the router)  That's why I tried it with different router and it works fine..  I've tried scanning my laptop with ad-aware and avg and no viruses found. What does this issue mean?

THIS WAS A VERY SPECIFIC CASE INVOLVING AVG FIREWALL AND INTERNET ADDONS AND SETTINGS.

Hi, I had the same problem as you did on my W Vista computer: I was able to run MSG and Online games, but I wasn't able to use IE or Mozilla Firefox. This happened as soon as I downloaded the new version of my anti virus (AVG Free 8.5). Now I realized that the firewall was allowing both programs to have full access to the internet, so I started snooping around the AVG Tools and was able to figure out what was wrong. The AVG program has something called Link Scanner in "Tools"-"Advanced Settings". Now I haven't figured out what they are for, but as soon as I deactivated them, everything started to work perfectly again. Hope this helps. If not, try looking into your own firewall related programs or browser addons and think about what you did or downloaded the days right before the change. Good luck!

Opening page could not be found for any browser. I tried Safari, Firefox,  IE, and Chrome. 
Tried almost all of these great Forum recommendations, and alas what worked for my ancient Compaq Celeran back-up computer (saved barely from e-cycling) was resetting the DNS... (Domain number series)...
          
Each of the other three computers on our home LAN shared the same DNS number that was a different number than the DNS stored in my old Compaq. I tested on windows troubleshooting and the DNS showed as a failed test, also.) 
        
So right click on the blinking internet icon in the lower right hand corner ( by the time) and open network connections. Click on the LAN connection that you are using. There are the magic connection numbers that give your unique IP address...click on details, and more numbers... Check em out and see if all is the same with your other computer internet connections.  
        
On the same "Status" screen, click on properties, and voila you're almost there...
Scroll down to TCP/IP, check mark it, select it and  check out properties...
Even though "obtain an address automatically" is recommended, I chose" use the following"...and corrected the numbers that come up for the addresses...
      
 I corrected the DNS (by changing a 1 to 0), and braved the "Advanced", clicked on the DNS tab, and oh my gosh, there were arrows to change my default DNS order of preference...so at this home, my computer is set for this DNS, and at the other home/office, I reset the arrows to point to the first DNS....
      
Instantly, all the numbers lined up, and I tried Mozilla Firefox with baited breath, AND IMMEDIATE connection!
     
Hope this helps someone in a similar boat (or boot :) !
HI HO!

I just had this same issue and fixed it by following these steps.  Hopefully this will help you guys out too. I use Windows XP.

1st - Go to your control panel 

2nd - Select the internet options thumbnail

3d - Under the 'connections' tab, click on the 'LAN settings button'.

4th - Make sure to UN-CHECK the little tick box next to the text that says "Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections"

5th - click 'ok'

this fixed my issue with internet explorer and google chrome instantly. I hope this helps some of you.

A good solution is that if there is "https" written in the address just remove "s" from it try to reload again. it worked for me.
