Haven't used this pc in months. Tried downloading Spy Bot and Ad Aware and when selecting download, it says "page not displayed", and IE says it can't connect to site. I know it's not the sites being down, as IE does ok on other 3 pcs. I switch over to Mozilla and the stuff downloads fine.

Ideas?

Thanks, but I compared them to the others - all the same.

Internet Options - Connections - LAN settings - is everything unchecked and no proxies listed? Is your hosts file clean?

I finally got the Ad Aware and Spy Bot by using Mozilla. Bot found 4 entries and Ad Aware found 54. Go figure. Anyway, I cleaned up using them and IE started downloading again. One of those entries was evidently blocking the process. Would surf ok but not download anything.

Hey SARGE,
Netscape does a job whereas IE makes YOU do it!

I'm Netscape born n' bred boy!
