OT Inter explorer problem

I am getting an error message on almost one fourth of web pages I
open. The message says internet explorer cannot open the pages
http.
I see the page opened in the backround, but the message on top.
the message also says operation aborted. The only option I have is
clicking yes, which closes out my internet explorer, and then I must reopen
it again.
This is getting very frustrating. There are no details on the error
message.
Any idea what could be happening. I am using dsl, on win xp pro,
ie. 6.0, norton anti virus.

Much regards Jerry

What setting do you have for security (tools|options|security)? Perhaps you
have the highest level set which can cause explorer to reject many
messages - I have reduced the security level one step without problems and
the situation cleared up. Note: I do run Norton AV and Zone Alarm when
accessing high speed cable.

I tried as you suggested and no change. Any other hints? I
would hate to do a complete clean install to fix the problem, but if this
keeps up, it will have to be done.

Did you install the Hotfix Q332184? See this article:

Thanks for the tip. Unfortuanately I do not have that
particular hotfix installed, and for the fix to work, that is one of the two
parameters neccessary.
I am still open to other suggestions as what may be the
trouble.
