Solve : Trouble w/ logging in websites?

Answer»

For some reason, everytime i click a link to sign in to check mail or to ebay(ex. comcast.net for email), IE bring up a page saying "Page cannot be displayed"...I've looked over this site and got some ideas to fix it but nothing has worked. All my settings and security is back to default and all other websites work. I can't think of what coud be the problem. Any ideas?The website http://www.comcast.net does not FUNCTION well after I blocked the cookie it wished to set. It continiously keeps loading and reporting that it is done.how do i know if i blocked a cookieWhat happens when you go to
http://www.comcast.net
and sign in with username & password?I can't even access that website, Fed. You MUST use Internet Explorer.

Telling how you have blocked a cookie depends on the type of browser you use and the configuration thereof.when i click "mail" at the top, a window pops up saying"Page cannot be displayed"http://www.comcastsupport.com/sdcxuser/asp/autosolutions2.aspstill no luckReset all your browser security & advanced settings to default.

And/or

1. Start
2. Settings
3. Control Panel
4. Internet Options
5. Advanced
6. Restore Defaults button.I am having these same problems.  I reset everything and still nothing happens...
What else can I doTo resolve this problem, delete the Index.dat file in Internet Explorer:

In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. On the General tab, under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files. On the Delete Files dialog box message that is displayed, click OK .

Under History, click Clear History. On the Delete all items in your History folder? dialog box, click OK. Quit Internet Explorer.

Log on to the computer by using the account of a user who does not experience the problem, and then open a command prompt. Change the directory to the following path:

drive :\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
Type del index.dat , and then press ENTER. Exit the command prompt and then restart the computer.

The Index.dat file is re-created the next TIME that you log on to the computer.

How would I open the command prompt to change the directory to the following path:

drive :\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5  
Type del index.dat , and then press ENTER. Exit the command prompt and then restart the computer.  

The Index.dat file is re-created the next time that you log on to the computer.  

If I am on the main screen (where am my icons are at) how would I get to this point.  I have Windows XP, have a HP compuer and Internet Explorer.

Can you ping the sites concerned? cmd ping www.bbc.co.uk.....it should return packets.... or you could if you wish do this >http://www.theeldergeek.com/repair_ie6.htm


What do you mean by "ping"?
Also, I tried the www.the eldergeek.com site you mentioned above.  I tried Method #2 and when I got to 7th point, I found the inf file.  I right clicked on it and then clicked Install.  I then got the following:

The file IEXPLORE.EXE on Windows XP Home Edition Pack 1 is needed.  
Type the path where the file is located and then click ok

In the drop box was the following:
C\Windows\inf\1386.

What do I do know?  This computer stuff is hard...Method 2: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x Repair for Windows XP

From the Start menu, select Search, select All Files and Folders.
Select More Advanced Options and place a checkmark beside Search HIDDEN Files and Folders option.
Ensure that Search System Folders and Search Subfolders are also checked.
In the All or Part of the File Name box, type ie.inf
In the Look In drop-down menu, select C: or the letter of the hard drive that contains the Windows folder.
Click the Search button.
In the search results pane, find the ie.inf file located in Windows\Inf folder.
Right click the ie.inf file and click Install on the context menu.
Reboot the computer when the file copy process is complete
