This problem started after installing Chrome for a test run. After several hours of fooling around with MS suggestions and the attempts of others, I found that the box, "Use a proxy server for your LAN" had been checked (tools>internet options>(connections)>(LAN settings). Unchecking that box solved my problems.

a common problem in IE on Vista IE 8.0 beta I get the same on my office laptop with IE 8.0 Beta installed. Your security settngs are stoppng it along with Windows Defender I beleive.

better still use Firefox. ^_^

Or shut off Windows Defender. its windows 'version' of firewall. Crappy stuff.

Try clearing your cookies, your temporary internet files and your browsing history.  I had the same problem and tried everything.  This is what finally worked for me.

bub · Answer

I just figured it out.  I was having the same problem on my 64 bit vista and IE 8 not displaying hotmail and other secure sites such as banks.  All I did was click on the IE 64bit icon in the program menu and it works.  Just copy that icon into the desktop and delete the old one.  Works fine now.

ZS · Answer

Yeah, right. Just copy the icon on the desktop.

Solved: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage but Firefox can


Thanks!  The Internet Options, Connection, LAN Settings tab was just where I needed to go.  It had been set to proxy by malware.  I set it back to automatically detect and I can use Internet Explorer again!

Unclicking the lan settings worked thanks

JR · Answer

I am having this same issue and I've had no luck resolving it.
 - 'Automatically detect settings' is unchecked.
 - 'Use automatic configuration script' is unchecked.
 - 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' is unchecked.
 - I have deleted temp internet files, cookies and history.  
 - The error seems to occur when the web page takes longer than a few seconds to load - almost as though it is timing out.  
 - Running without add-ons does not solve the problem.
 - Upgrading from IE7 to IE8 did not solve the problem.  (I was desperate :))
 - All other browsers are fine.
 - When I run IE as another user on my machine, the issue does not occur.

Any new ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

RabbitGumbo · Answer

If all else fails, try the following: 'Start', 'Run' regsvr32 jscript.dll Note: you should get a little window pop-up saying "successful" then - "Start', 'Run' regsver32 vbscript.dll Note: another little window pop-up hopefully saying "successful" Reboot computer - trying IE8 again. Hope this helped

bobbytoledo · Answer

If all else fails workaround until fix is available is to left click and hold the hyperlink (or button) on the web page that doesn't work or open and drag it up to the next blank Tab in IE8 (i.e. drop it directly onto the TAB not the url address bar). Page then opens OK (am using windows 7).

I was having this problem for a couple of weeks.  When I first set up my wireless router everything was working fine, but then I suddenly couldn't access Hotmail and a couple of other addresses.  Took forever to find the solution, but I had to enable UnPn under my router settings.

My home page is Google but it seems that Internet Explorer block this access.

anonymous138 · Answer

thanks - it worked. like the other poster, I got one of these fake spywarescanners stuck on my pc (happened while browsing AOL discussion forums so watch out over there). after getting rid of the rogue program (booted into safe mode and used malwarebytes to get rid of it), but my ie8 kept failing to work. I even tired using an ethernet cable and connecting directly to the internet, but still no luck. tried commamnd line ipconfig/ release and flush dns and renew, still no luck in actually browsing, even though I was connected. SO I tried the above solution, and bam - surfing the www's once again. thanks again for your help/guidance, peace.

Simple, click on "Tools" in IEx and then on "Internet Options". Now click on the "Security" tab then on "Custom level". Scroll down to "Display mixed content" and click on "Enable". Net click on "ok" then followed by "Apply" to be done.

Sam Eard · Answer

I'm using win7 and IE8. I couldn't access hotmail and other secured sites. I ran microsoft fix it application found on the company website. It was caused by a Real SP player add on(recently installed) which it disabled. Now everything works fine.

Tofra · Answer

Had this same problem after removing fake antivirus software on two computers running Vista and XP.  Firefox and other programs could browse the web fine but Internet explorer and Google chrome could not connect to webpages.
FIXED by unchecking "Use proxy server" under Internet Options-->Connections-->LAN settings.  The malware must have checked this box as I have no proxy on my network.  Unchecked and all works fine now. 
Hope this helps
