    Internet Explorer cannot open search page
    Hello Everyone...
    I have set up 3 computers for Internet and the 3rd one does not work correctly when going out to the Internet. I am able to dial out and connect with my provider (Chilitech) and even get the main page from Chilitech. When I go to click on a link or anything off the main page - it goes to page not displayed. If I try to enter anything into the Address for a search then this message comes up [B]Internet Explorer cannot open search page. Also if I click on SEARCH from the tool bar and enter something to search - it tells me that I have lost my connection to the Internet - but upon checking the connection - I am still connected and I can refresh and still get the main page of Chilitech.

    Any ideas?

    I tried reinstalling IE6 - and it did it but I still get the same thing.

    Do I have a setting that is incorrect?

    HELP!
    Liz

    Try purging your cache. Go to Tools>Internet Options. On the General tab select to delete Temp Internet files. Then reboot the PC.

    Thanks for your response ScottGem - I did do that. I deleted files, deleted cookies, cleared history. I printed off this 12 page information to try from Microsoft and did all that was on there but it STILL doesn't work. Do you think I have set it up correctly?

    There's not much to setup. Have you thought of trying an alternative browser like FoxFire?

    I can try that. It is so strange that I got the other 2 to work fine but this one just won't work!
