Windows 7: Frequent IE9 Failures

Tho I like IE9 Ver: 9.0.8112.16421 (RTM KB982861), the behavior to be described is quickly becoming unacceptable for me to continue with it. More often than less when I clik on a favorites, be it thru the favorites menu bar or the pull-down menu I frequently get the display attached. It always requires a single 'refresh' either via right clik menu or the circle-arrow in the address bar to get the site to come up. Any way to resolve this other than reverting back to IE8?

thnx,

I am not well versed in Internet issues, here is a Microsoft Support tutorial regarding the problem you are facing.....

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Error "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when viewing a website in Internet Explorer

Good luck.

thnx for the link, but not applicable to symptoms I have described.

It's your call.
However, give it a go won't hurt. Particularly Method 4.

Adding ....

Open IE9 > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > under Reset Internet Explorer settings, click Reset > OK

You are quite right, my apologies. How quickly I forget how some solutions which seem to have no relevance can bring about the remedy. Many a time have I discovered (and just as quickly forgotten) that the simple but seemingly absurd act of restarting the computer has cured many ills. I'll give this a try.

well, I followed all the steps prescribed in the link provided. At first it appeared all was well but as time went by the symptoms re-appear. Slowly at first, but with frequency increasing with continued IE use. Odd how a simple refresh clik quickly brings these web sites up. It seems to me something is broken on my IE9. Never had this issue with 7 or 8 and my surfing habits or visited sites has not changed.

-thnx

One last possible "fix"...

Open IE9 > at the top, click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > under Reset Internet settings, click Reset > OK

yeah, I did that too, it's one of the steps in that link.
