Web Page Time Out Alert: Setting For Longer Time To Load

As I understand it, when you call up a web page and it doesn't come up after a certain amount of time, it times out and gives a time out alert. Is there any setting somewhere or some registry hack where you can increase the amount of time allowed for web pages to come up so that you don't time out. Sometimes I think my web page is just about to load when I get a time out alert that stops everything in its tracks which is really aggrevating.

Thank you Cheryl. That will be good for IE if I ever use it again. Unfortunately I don't want to use IE ever again except for certain web sites that need it because I was getting hijackings and spyware every 30 minutes with IE. I just using Firefox now so I'll have to figure that out.

This might help...found at the link below if you want to read thru.

A panel member from the Firefox forum offered this solution.
goto about:config
at network.http request.timeout change setting to 300
at network.http.connect.timeout change setting to 70
