Did you try and lower the security tab a little. It might be set too high
for her isp.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Webpage error message


I have an elderly lady (doesn't know anything about pc's) that has asked for
my help, and I am stumped.  She has a dial-up ISP and whenever she gets
online anytime she tries to go anywhere the first thing that usually happens
is she gets a page unavailable error, once she presses refresh a few times
it will usually come up.  I looked at it and it did it with Yahoo.com,
Wellsfargo.com, and several other places I tried to go.  Sometimes you can
get there the first try but more times than not you have to refresh to get
it to display the page.
I have tried to clean her cache and cookies and temp files, not really a big
problem that I can tell, they were relatively cleaned out.  Her connection
is good, I can check her email with no problems on demand.  There are only
like 3-4 programs running on her system and they are all known and shouldn't
be causing any problems.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dian Farmer
