Guest Fran Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Using IE7. Lately, when surfing and clicking on a variety of websites (some new, most are farmiliar) I have been getting a frequent pop-up error message that reads "Internet Explorer Cannot Open Internet site http://www.xxx.xxx - Operation Aborted." Then when I click OK it takes me to the blue IE page...Internet Explorer Cannot Display this page, etc. Often when I refresh, the page I want then appears! Can someone please explain why this is happening and provide a fix. All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Fran
Guest Rey Santos Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 RE: Error Message! Try these: In IE, Click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab and then under Browsing uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions", after you uncheck that option, close all open IE windows and restart your browser and check if the error is still there. If the error goes away, it was an add-on that was causing it. Now, once you know it is an add-on you can reenable add-ons and then disable them one by one in Tools > Manage Addons to find the offending culprit. In my case it was a Skype plugin causing this problem. -- Rey "Fran" wrote: > Using IE7.
